The improvement is partly attributed to the fading impact of the Epstein scandal in public perception.
A Wall Street Journal poll reveals that the Democratic Party's favorability has plummeted to its lowest in over three decades, with only 33% viewing them favorably amid widespread distrust and perceptions that Republicans are better at handling key issues. The party faces credibility problems, and voters are more skeptical of Democrats' ability to manage the economy, immigration, and foreign policy, while also disapproving of President Trump’s agenda. Despite some hope for a backlash in the 2026 midterms, Democrats need to reconnect with voters to improve their standing.

The poll also highlights demographic variations in Trump's favorability and reveals early preferences for the 2028 presidential primaries, with Kamala Harris and JD Vance leading their respective parties. Additionally, the poll explores public opinions on Trump's cabinet nominations, the likelihood of another world war, and beliefs about alien visits, while noting bipartisan gratitude for family and friends during the holidays.
Views of the United States and China vary significantly across 24 countries surveyed. While the U.S. is generally viewed more positively, especially in high-income countries, both countries are seen positively in some aspects and negatively in others. The U.S. is often perceived as more likely to interfere in the affairs of other countries, while China is seen as less interventionist. The U.S. is also considered the leading economic power and receives higher marks for contributing to global peace and stability. However, China's technology and entertainment industries receive positive ratings in some countries. Evaluations of universities, standards of living, respect for personal freedoms, and confidence in leaders also differ between the two countries.

However, 50% of respondents either somewhat or strongly approve of her performance as governor. The poll also found broad support for proposals she championed in the $229 billion state budget approved more than a month past an April 1 deadline.
