According to the survey, 63 percent of voters view the Democratic Party unfavorably—the highest level of disapproval recorded for the party in Journal polling since 1990.

Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable opinion of Democrats, indicating a 30-point gap in public sentiment.

The poll also found that just 8 percent of voters hold a “very favorable” view of the Democratic Party, while 19 percent expressed the same level of favorability toward the Republican Party.

The poll results reflect widespread voter dissatisfaction with both major parties, but the data suggests that Democrats are viewed more negatively than Republicans across multiple demographic and policy categories.

The numbers are especially significant heading into the next midterm election cycle, where Democrats hope to regain control of the House of Representatives.

Despite voter concerns about President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs, and foreign policy, the survey shows that Republicans remain more trusted by voters on each of those issues in a congressional context.

On inflation, Republicans hold a 10-point advantage over Democrats. Voters also trust the GOP more when it comes to handling trade and tariffs, with a 7-point lead.

The largest margin comes on the issue of illegal immigration, where Republicans lead Democrats by 24 percentage points.

The findings suggest a continued shift in public sentiment toward Republican approaches to economic and border security issues.

Republican leaders have focused on curbing inflation, renegotiating trade policies, and restoring immigration enforcement priorities.

Voter support for these policies appears to be growing amid concerns over economic pressures and border management.

Democratic pollster John Anzalone, who conducted the poll alongside Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, acknowledged the challenge facing his party.

“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” Anzalone said.

“Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”

The poll suggests that Democratic hopes of leveraging voter disapproval of President Trump may not be enough to regain momentum heading into future elections.

Although there is discontent with some aspects of Republican leadership, voters continue to place more trust in GOP lawmakers when it comes to addressing core economic and immigration concerns.

The survey data points to an uphill battle for Democrats in upcoming national contests, particularly if they are unable to shift public perception on key domestic issues or present a clear alternative to Republican policies.
