"Despite the majority disapproval for Trump on the issues, Trump and the Republicans' approaches to both the economy and immigration still outpace views of the Democrats' approaches."

Negative views of the [Democratic] party now outweigh positive ones by 19 points, compared with an 11-point gap for the Republican Party. “Our branding is still as bad as it’s ever been,” said Anzalone, the Democratic pollster.

While disapproval with the President is growing, his approval rating is statistically unchanged this year. This helps explain: "Some 92% of people who voted for him in 2024 give him a positive job rating today, including 70% who “strongly approve,” the Journal poll finds."

The @WSJ poll shows that "even while many voters disapprove of Trump’s economic management, they don’t see the Democrats as a better alternative. Republicans in Congress are favored over Democrats as better able to handle the economy and inflation." bit.ly/4qoZb3E

From the @CBSNews poll on the shutdown: "From a list of descriptors of the parties, it's a case of weak (the way most of the nation describes the Democratic Party) versus extreme (the most often-picked label for the GOP)." bit.ly/4qam5fI

"The Republican Party greatly outpaces the Democrats on being called "effective" and 'strong.' "Over four in 10 rank-and-file Democrats describe their own party as weak." @CBSNews

From @Gallup polling: Trust in Media at New Low of 28% in U.S. Republicans' confidence in mass media to report news "fully, accurately and fairly" now at 8%

While GOP and Dems have long held different views on the media, a new poll from @gallup shows just how big the differences are. While most Dems (51%) have a great deal/fair amount of trust in the media, only 8% of Republicans feel the same. @Gallup bit.ly/3VNdLV5

2025 is 75% complete.

@Gallup According to Gallup, over the past two years, there's been "a sharp drop in reported drinking among Republicans (falling 19 points, to 46%) but not Democrats (holding fairly steady at 61%)."

Turns out alcohol use is on the decline. @Gallup
