Democratic Leadership Faces Crisis of Confidence Amid all-time Low Poll

Democratic Leadership Faces Crisis of Confidence Amid Party Backlash

 

Confidence in Democratic congressional leadership has fallen to its lowest level ever recorded, according to a new Gallup poll, marking a significant shift in public sentiment and deepening internal divisions within the party.

 

The poll, conducted from April 1 to 14 and released on Thursday, reveals that just 25% of Americans express confidence in Democratic leaders in Congress. This marks a nine-point drop from the previous record low of 34% set in 2023. Even more striking is how far this figure has fallen from the historical average of 45% that Gallup has tracked since 2001.

 

The sharp decline appears to be fueled primarily by disillusionment within the Democratic Party itself. According to Gallup, “Democratic congressional leaders’ rating among their own party faithful has fallen 41 points since last year to their lowest point ever.” The pollster emphasized that “the previous low for Democratic congressional leaders among Democrats was 60%, recorded in 2005.”

 

Meanwhile, Republican leadership fared slightly better in the same survey, with 39% of respondents expressing confidence in GOP congressional leaders. Though still below their historical average of 43%, this figure remains significantly higher than the 24% low Republicans experienced in 2014. Gallup noted, “For their part, Republicans’ confidence in their own party’s congressional leaders has never fallen below 42%.”

 

It’s been over a decade since either major party’s congressional leadership enjoyed a majority confidence rating. The last time Democratic leaders reached that threshold was in 2009, while Republicans haven’t hit the 50% mark since 2003.

 

This collapse in confidence comes at a time when Democratic leaders in Congress appear unable to effectively counter President Trump's second-term legislative push. Since Inauguration Day, efforts to oppose or slow down the president’s agenda have largely stalled, contributing to a perception of ineffectiveness.

 

Following the November elections, Democrats lost control of the Senate, while Republicans made gains in the House, further weakening the party’s influence in Congress. The recent controversy surrounding Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has only intensified intra-party tensions. Last month, Schumer faced harsh criticism after siding with Republicans to advance a spending bill that prevented a government shutdown.

 

The decision drew the ire of progressive groups, who organized nationwide protests demanding Schumer step down from his leadership role. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other prominent Democratic lawmakers openly criticized the move, with Pelosi stating that Schumer had given his vote to Republicans “for nothing.”

 

As confidence in Democratic leadership continues to crater, the party faces growing pressure to regroup, reassess its strategy, and rebuild trust—not just with the general public, but with its own disillusioned base.

The Dems really are in deep trouble.

 

They need some serious, credible politicians to stop the rot. There's only one thing for it...

 

 

[HappyExpat57]

It will take more than a few election cycles to get the Democratic "leadership" to finally agree to a cranial assendectomy (get their heads out their a$$es). Until then, learn to live with the current government insanity.

SEE!  I have been telling folks this for years!  I was a civil servent for many years and worked with some of the senior people within the government (different administrations) and never repeat never was impressed with these people. IMHO, they are nothing but teat suckers on the government dole.  As soon as elected, they learn how to use insider trading and other tricks to hopefully become rich - no way on their govt salary alone but many do get very rich (ie.  Pelosi) They can't even floor a non-insider trading bill as that is their bread and butter source of extra income - news reports earlier this month with Congresswoman Greene using Trumps on/offagain tactic to sell and buy, insider trading clearly identified.  These people only consider fattening up their next election campaign fund as they will hang around forever if folks don't wise up to them.  Like Bernie Sanders, check out his successful taking any bill to fruition - ZERO! - over 30 years!  The Democrats could not even stand together to defeat the current funding bill which widens the debt ceiling AGAIN!  They make all kinds of excuses but this one should have been widely voted down as the debt is already way beyond hopes of even breaking even with the yearly budget.  Time to tighten up the agencies and get rid of excess for sure so that the govt can begin tightening up!

[spidermike007]

In my opinion both parties are broken and that's been the case for a very long time, there is not a single member at the national level in either party that is not completely sold out. 

 

Admittedly the Republicans are better organized and have better messaging but that doesn't mean that they are a more functional party. The Dems do need to get rid of the dinosaurs, for sure. But, so do the Republicans. Guys like Graham, and McConnell are an abomination. And Johnson is a true freak. Washinton is a broken swamp. Present leadership included.

 there are essentially three major parties in USA politics now : 

/   Democrat 

/   Republican

/   Trump MAGA

 

Democrat and Trump MAGA are in big trouble. 

Republican ?    No news is good news for now.

Change is happening.   I saw an interview with David Hogg. He is a deputy chair of the DNC and a survivor of the Parkland mass shooting in Florida. He graduated from Harvard in 2023 and has been cutting a remarkable path of constructive change. He is leading the effort to  rejuvenate by focusing on  older party  representatives who have had safe seats and taken that as an opportunity to  limit their engagement. He wants  people who will  present the party policies and  be more energetic in their  duties as  Congressional delegates. He has $20 million form the party to help bring in new  candidates, to primary  duds, and to support the more effective candidates.  Some of the people he intends to  have a primary are;  80-year-old Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) 84-year-old House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)) and 79 year old Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.). Many of the people on his list are infirm, or sick or just haven't been showing up to  work as they should.

 

At 80 years of age, it is time to vacate the  position and step aside to let someone  with more energy do the job. Congress should not be a seniors daycare facility.

[Cameroni]

Shades of the 1930s, public confidence in democratic parties plummeting, strong man leaders emerging, economic warfare looming. Didn't Japan go to war because the US imposed an oil embargo crippling the Japanese economy?

 

Germany rearming, Britain and France too. A nascent economic and military power in Asia, China this time.

 

Plu ca change c'est la meme chose.

I saw an interview with Debbie Wasserman Schultz (may she burn in hell and die of painful eye cancer) responding to David Hogg's efforts. She's an experienced politician, particularly when it comes to back stabbery. She's seeing the handwriting on the wall that the old guard has to go, but also realizes those fossils still maintain a vise-like grip on the power that is slipping through their old, bony claws, and that she's going to be next.

Don't think he was anywhere near the school shooting when it happened. Bit of a Walz stolen valor moment, popular among democrats who deal in image and narrative over reality and fact.

Though the Republican Party may still exist, at this point in time they simply appear to be a sycophantic organization that spends all its time kissing the butt of the fake king. So I would say for now the rot and the extreme moral bankruptcy continues. 

 

No doubt Trump will fail and no doubt people will start wising up once inflation kicks up and employment numbers start skyrocketing, and retirement accounts start disappearing. There's a definite possibility he won't even make it through this entire term. And after he disappears from politics with his head bowed down in shame, what will the Republican Party be then? Just a morally spent organization.

Why repeat the false claim that came from the  groups who tried to promote that this was a staged event with crisis actors. It was easy to verify if he was present or not.  David Hogg was most certainly at the school when the shooting occurred and  the manner in which the school  custodian/janitor saved the students in his class has been documented by the people who were in the classroom. His sister was a freshman at the school too.  17 kids were murdered and 17 others   seriously injured. Many were freshman students,, others were seniors like David, and some were teachers/coaches. Everyone knew someone.

 

There was no stolen valor. The kid, like the other survivors  lived through a horrific needless tragedy. He has not claimed to  be anything other than a person who had to live through this. Why you would try and trash him in this way is pretty low.

[Cryingdick]

I have been saying for awhile that the only people more despised than Trump are the dems. Not only MAGA people hate them.

If the world had your attitude, there would be no progress, no improvement, no redress for wrongful acts, no checks and balances and no democracy. David has a "real" job just as the young interns at the White House have a job, and just as the chair and deputy chair of the Republican Party have a  "real" job.  

 

You are the type of person who  complains about young people not caring, of not taking charge of their lives. And yet, here we have a smart, well spoken and polite person who is trying to make a change in the political party you regularly criticize for being out of touch and fossilized and you dismiss him.  He is not trying to "run things". He is trying to  bring in new people and new ideas, to initiate a rejuvenation. In order to  succeed, one must adapt to the changing environment.

Yessir, yesterday I listened to a review of the world trade situation from Univ of Colombia professor and economist Jeffry Sachs - in answer to a question about the Congress possibly controlling Trump' antics, he said that nowadays, Congress folks do not really have party affiliations, they all get huge campaign funds from the billionaires and thus we see all those Congress folk look out for is more funds for their campaign chests so that they can coninue in their cushy jobs which also allows insider trading so they can also get very rich by the time they leave govt service.   This was at an international forum in Turkey and he pulled no punches when talking about the idiotic tariff scheme and its affect on the world trade.  NOw I hear that Trump says that he plans to drop the Chinese tariffs and that he will be very nice to the Chinese...back stepping all the while after causing so much problems.

That is the most ridiculous statement that I've heard all month. I'm in the US right now and absolutely everything has gone up, please define for me what has gone down in price. I don't see anything that's gone down in the last 6 months, since my last visit to the US every single one of my staples has gone up at least 10%, regardless of what the completely ridiculous FEDs say. 

That defines 20% inflation to me. 

 

The only one I know of that's claiming that prices are going down is Trump, and how do you trust the word of a lying, thieving billionaire?

Well of course Trump was going to lose this trade war, that was inevitable from the beginning, declaring economic war on a nation like China is never a good idea. 

 

The reality is that he has caused such a horrific amount of damage that it might take decades to repair, if it can ever be repaired. Trump has diminished America's standing in the world by such a dramatic extent it could not possibly be overstated. The man is a one-man Wrecking Ball, a bull in a China closet, and an ignoramus to a staggering extent, and the damage that he is causing could not possibly be over stated.

What planet are you living on? I wanna go there. The REST of us live on a planet where prices are rising dangerously.

 

Auto manufacturers are laying off workers because prices for parts are too high.

Farmers can't find workers cuz they are scared spitless of ICE (the new Gestapo).

Small businesses are closing because the prices for importing their goods for resale are now too high.

 

I would suggest you are too high on Fox fumes to see the truth.

I honestly think he is destroying the US in preparation for a hostile takeover from his foreign master.

 

When you realize he is aligned with Russia, it all suddenly makes sense.
