The science is settled. A Democrat Super PAC needed a poll to figure out they everyone thinks they are woke, weak, and out of touch.
Only 35% are optimistic about the Democrat party

New poll delivers troubling signs for Democrats

The Democratic Party’s credibility with voters has plummeted even further since the 2024 election, raising alarm bells as the party looks to rebuild ahead of the midterms and the next presidential election, according to a new poll obtained by The Hill.

The poll, which was conducted between May and June by Unite the Country, a Democratic super PAC, showed voters perceived the Democratic Party as “out of touch,” “woke” and “weak.”

The party has seen its support erode with white men, Hispanic men and working-class voters across the board, with approval ratings sitting below 35 percent across those demographics. And enthusiasm within the party continues to wane in the wake of 2024, the poll revealed.

“This is the reality of the perception of us as a party, and until we accept that, it’s going to be hard to move forward,” said Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau, who serves as senior adviser to the super PAC. “There’s a perception out there, outside of Democratic elites, and it’s taken hold in not just the MAGA crowd but people that should be with us.”

“Democrats need to realize that in order to improve and get better to not only win in 2028 but to win in 2030 and 2032 and beyond,” Mollineau added.

Democrats have been searching for a way out of the wilderness since their devastating loss in November, when they not only lost the presidency once again to President Trump but also the House and Senate.

Since then, party officials have conducted a number of postmortems — including polls, focus groups and strategy sessions — as part of the party’s rebuilding effort.

But Democrats are still feeling dejected and rudderless in the early months of the Trump presidency. An AP-NORC poll out in May revealed that only 35 percent of surveyed Democrats are optimistic about the party’s future, compared with 57 percent in July 2024. And there is an overwhelming sense that the party lacks strong leaders, the same poll showed.

Democratic donors and bundlers have refused to cut checks for Democratic candidates, citing the party’s lack of enthusiasm and vision.

Unite the Country’s latest poll, which was conducted with voters in 21 battleground counties across 10 battleground states, revealed that Democrats have not escaped the shadow of their loss in 2024. And voters’ perceptions of the party remain the same.

Democrats have had opportunities to hit back at the Trump administration, including on tariffs, immigration deportations and, most recently, Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

But political observers say those moments were wasted.

“I was frustrated during the ‘one big beautiful bill’ stuff,” said Steve Schale, Democratic strategist and CEO of Unite the Country. “We missed an opportunity to really define a different kind of vision.”

The super PAC’s poll revealed that Democrats’ prime emphasis on fighting for democracy — while still popular within the party — is no longer going to cut it with the general electorate, and soft-on-immigration policies turn too many voters away.

The party has some serious rethinking to do when it comes to their priorities and messaging, Mollineau said.

“It’s not about abandoning who we are. It’s not about leaving people behind. We are a big tent party. But it is about prioritizing the messages and starting where the majority of the people are,” Mollineau said.

Why does this article seem like an ad for Unite the Country PAC, which no one had ever heard of before now?

>Unite the Country’s latest poll, which was conducted with voters in 21 battleground counties across 10 battleground states
probably because its a thinly veiled propaganda piece pretending to be a real survey

>>1419429
OPIE is a bigoted out of touch conservative. Every accusation is a confession

>A Democrat super PAC conducted a poll meant to be a thinly veiled hit piece against the Democrat party
Oh sweet, new cope just dropped

>>1419492
Anything to avoid talking about the real news stories like >>1419282 which might paint your party in a bad light.

Here's a hot take.
The committed members of both the Democrat and Republican parties have both lost all ideals and exist only as opposition to the other side. For both, the foremost impetus is to stop the other side.

I know what I'm about to say is controversial now, but 10-15 years ago it would be common sense
swing voters, (largely who this poll targeted) generally don't vote left or right because of the fact they are left and right. They want policy and vision.
Swing voters have a hard time rallying behind the message "stop Republicans" or "stop Democrats", they like to have issues they can attach to or relate with.
Republicans came to the table with strong policy positions.. immigration, foreign trade, etc. Democrats came to the table with a strongly worded message that they aren't Republicans. Swing voters got behind the messaging of the former because of they came forward with strong ideals that were more than just "stop Democrats"

>>1419497
That isn't a hot take, it's Ivan's standard "both sides are the same" fence sitter's false dichotomy. If you can't see the obvious asymmetrical policy differences then you're either being paid not to or you're too retarded to be talking out loud.

>It's a Russian conspiracy meant to stop people from posting in my thread on /news
Lol. You really are a card carrying schizo aren't you

>>1419427
There's a new, shitty DemoPAC every single day filled with homos, women and blacks.

I disagree heartily.

Voters can't even define the word "woke" why should we listen to them

>>1419577
>Define communism
>Define CRT
>Define woke.
I think you need to stop worrying so much about definitions. Everyone knows what it means.

>communism
Something rightards can't define. As for these
>CRT
>woke
Rightards won't be awake when Cathode Ray Tube displays showing how all of their opinions are wrong are continually dropped on their heads from a great height.
But mentally unstable rightards are all having strokes, thus needing drugs/meds.

>>1419584
Have you considered acting mentally stable? It would be a breath of fresh air

>>1419595
do they let you breathe fresh air at the shill farm?

>>1419596
I honestly have no idea what the air is like in your imagination

>>1419597
i'll take that as a no. maybe you guys should unionize

>>1419599
Let me know what happens when the workers at the shill factory in your head attempt to unionize. You could write some fanfic about it. Maybe you could have a plot twist involving a shadowy Russian billionaire. Or a secret plot to cause George Floyd 2.0 or something

>you don’t need to know what something is to hate it
MAGA logic.

>>1419602
so you're saying i'm imagining you shitting up this board?

>>1419605
Simply put, yes. You see things you don't like for political reasons, and you act out like you have been in this thread.

>>1419628
you think i'm the one acting? lol

>>1419629
>you think i'm the one acting? lol
No, I don't think you are acting at all. I'm not sure how you got that impression.

>>1419632
well you're esl so i get why you don't understand how i'm making fun of you yet again

There he goes again. He doesn't understand "acting" vs "acting out", he gets called out on it, and he starts name calling again.
"Acting out", if you will.
Typical for uneducated folk

>>1419635
i get it anon, you've studied a little more. you still won't fit in though, sorry. and i'm still going to make fun of you

>>1419584
Who is a rightatard? Personally I hate right wing authoritarianism, thus my extreme hate for progressives and their fascist faggotry such as communism, CRT and being woke as fuck.
The definition of those three items are the same, and it's "stuff assholes do to fuck up the world".

I'm leaning Democrat myself. There are more gay Republicans than democrats the difference is that most dems are open about it compared to Republicans hiding it and finding targets that won't tell... yes, pedophilia is what I accuse. So fuck Republicans and the Antichrist pieces shit they bow to.

>>1419329 (OP)
Sorry Republicans, your God has even said y'all don't know how to pick good leaders... but go ahead and dog on the other guy to lessen your error... at least in your own head.

>>1421727
lol. Try again.

>>1419329 (OP)
There is no version of a political party that wants to create fag-nation and destroy Jesus that will succeed.
