Midterms Around the Corner, So Are More Losses for Democrats

The Democratic Party has never been more unpopular.

According to CNN Data Analyst Harry Enten," The Democratic brand is in the basement.

It's total and complete garbage in the mind of the American public."

Enten noted the Democratic Party favorability ratings are at "record lows" in recent polls by The Wall Street Journal, -30%, CNN, -26%, and Gallup, -26%.

Of course, these horrific ratings could not have happened to a more deserving political party. In recent years, the Democrats have offered nothing but:

• Socialism,
• Wokeism,
• Anti-police stances,
• Anti-Israeli stances, and . . .
• Anti-American policies.

The party is most enthusiastic about their hatred for President Donald Trump, not helping the American people prosper.

Almost all of America’s largest cities are led by Democrats, who have delivered prohibitive tax rates, poor public services, high crime rates, and a declining quality of life.

It's no surprise that Americans are fleeing blue states and their equally blue counterparts, run by leftwing Democrats.

After the Democrats pushed the "Defund the Police" movement, it has become difficult for blue cities to recruit enough law enforcement officers.

Thus, these municipalities are crime-ridden hellholes with too few numbers in law enforcement, and too many criminals.

In recent days, Americans witnessed a vicious beatdown in Cincinnati and a mass shooting in New York City.

In Cincinnati, the response from local officials has been atrocious with the mayor remaining on vacation and one city council member blaming the victims for their beating.

In New York City, the leading candidate for Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is a socialist who has called for defunding the police and the disbanding of the Strategic Response Group, a crime fighting unit in Gotham.

He's repeatedly labeled the New York Police Department "wicked and corrupt" as well as "racist" and has advocated the reallocation of resources from the police toward social services.

These days, Democrats are unrealistic about their party’s platform and leadership.

Many of the young Democrats want the failed socialist policies espoused by Mamdani and his supporters like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and most recently, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

In the latest polling average of potential 2028 Democratic Party presidential candidates, Ocasio-Cortez is in fourth place at 11.9%.

Concurrently, there's no clear frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.

In fact, Enten claims that the Democrats "are historically divided. It is a complete and utter mess. It is messier than a hoarder’s basement."

There is such a lack of leadership that left-wing radio host Charlamagne tha God wants a comedian to compete for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. He said, "I would love to see Jon Stewart run in 28."

Charlamagne praised Stewart as a "change agent" who would "shake things up."

Instead of a "change agent," the current polling leader for the 2028 Democratic Party presidential nomination is former Vice President Kamala Harris with only 21.1% support.

Harris returned to the spotlight last week to appear on a canceled talk show and to promote a book about her disastrous and short-lived 2024 presidential campaign.

If the book blasts her former boss, President Joe Biden, and reveals her concerns about his cognitive decline, political journalist Mark Halperin says Biden’s allies will unleash a slew of negative stories about her.

Halperin stated, "If the Biden people feel threatened, you will hear stories about Kamala Harris as vice president that will not make her look good."

Of course, both Harris and Biden were utter disasters; however, these were the "leaders" that the Democratic Party offered to the American people.

Thankfully, Harris was overwhelmingly rejected by the voters last year.

Instead of learning from their mistakes and trying a course correction, Democrats are doubling down on their insanely left-wing policies.

The momentum from activists is pushing the party to move further to the left instead of the political center and closer to the views of most Americans.

This dubious strategy will work, in the view of Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin.

In a podcast interview on Friday, Martin claimed Americans have "buyer’s remorse" and that Republicans "are the wrong side of the issues."

Furthermore, he boasted that Republicans are "headed towards a certain election loss next year." Really, the approval rating for the leader of the Republican Party, President Trump, is at 49%, according to the latest Rasmussen poll.

In contrast, Americans have a dim view of Congressional Democrats with a recent Quinnipiac University poll showing their approval rating among the American people at a disastrous 19%. Their disapproval rating was an astounding 72%.

Consequently, if the American people are happy with President Trump’s performance in office, yet totally dissatisfied with the actions of Congressional Democrats, why would voters change control of Congress in the midterm elections?

Undoubtedly, Democrats have history on their side as the party "out of power" normally wins seats in the midterm elections.

However, Democrats today are without effective leadership and offering failed policies. They are delusional to believe this behavior will be rewarded by the American voters next year.
