DUmmys perplexed regarding record low polling stats

[FunkyZero]

So lets see...  rage against the most popular policies such as securing our border and ejecting illegal invaders, assassinating opponents and law enforcement while crowds of democrats cheer it on, offer NO viable alternate policy. Gee, I wonder why things look so grim for communist sympathizers?

Democratic Party hits lowest polling numbers since Q'Pac started polling Party Approval.

Don't shoot the messenger!

IMHO... we need to go BACK to the future, take back the populist badge from MAGA.

    Thirty percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the Democratic party, while 54 percent have an unfavorable opinion, and 10 percent haven't heard enough about it.

    This is the lowest favorability rating for the Democratic party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking voters this question in 2008. The previous low was in January of this year when 31 percent of voters had a favorable opinion, 57 percent had an unfavorable opinion, and 9 percent hadn't heard enough about it.

    In today's poll, 38 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the Republican party, while 51 percent have an unfavorable opinion, and 7 percent haven't heard enough about it.

6. People want a fighter--not an appeaser

I'm not sure the reason for the disapproval for those being polled (I can't speak for others), but I know my disapproval is my frustration with the lack of fight (or ineffective fight) from our Democratic leadership. Our country is going down in flames, but I don't see a lot of high-profile Democrats fighting back with anything but rhetoric.

Newsom is surging in the polling as a Presidential candidate, and I think it's due to the way he's fighting back at Trump. He's not taking the bait and reacting with ineffective rants; he's taking an offensive approach. And he's taking ACTION, like he did in getting Prop 50 on the ballot so quickly. Instead of reacting with "that's not fair!!!", and doing nothing, he's saying "Two can play that game" and then actually doing something.

and this is why your numbers will continue to tank. completely oblivious and unable to read the room. you are violent, fringe communists, and America is rejecting that you dolt

Doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on the 20 side of 80-20 issues and their "10" antics on a 90-10 event is not a winning strategy? Who could foresee that?

by larger margins than ever before.

Adelita Grijalva just won the seat in Arizona by 39%. Harris won that district by just 22%, Biden in 2020 won it by just 33%, and her father won the district last November by just 27%.

Giving moral support in finding outliers in special elections where virtually few actually vote. What a trooper.

or looks the other way when bigots are beatified in the halls of congress,

your base will not approve, and neutral observers will see you for the punks you are.

I am not ****ing surprised.

When this party stops bending over and throwing immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ, under the bus for comity's sake, it might see better numbers

Nazis are in the Whitehouse, mother****ers.

Act like it.

Most people don't understand policy. They only understand me, me, me. These people think that not using the n-word and listening to hip hop means they aren't racist. These people think that waving to the gay neighbors down the street means they aren't homophobic. These people think that going to the Mexican restaurant where all the staff speakers broken English means they are tolerant of immigrants.

Republicans have been able to win the rhetoric war that Democrats care more about these "groups" of people than they do white middle class people. Republicans aren't offering to do anything for white middle class people. But they do preach that Democrats are going to prioritize everything and everyone else over them.

Again, they don't understand policy. Most people don't. If people understood economic policy Republicans would never win an election. But they don't.

Laughable.

Keep demonizing normal people. As HilLIARy demonstrated, that is a great winning strategy!

noun
historical
a member of the far-right National Socialist German Workers' Party.

considering the National Socialist German Workers' Party ran form 1933 to 1945 (note, 1 year before President Trump was born) , I would have to guess there are some very old people in the White House if this DUmmy's statement is correct.

I love these threads, they give me schadenfreude.  The OP noted that these numbers are basically unchanged from January.  Whatever it is they're trying to do is not working.  They say they have to get back to populist and blue collar appeal.  They cannot accomplish this, because they have a shit ton of loose cannons on social media, being freaks, being violent assholes, being loathsome worms.  They cannot rein these monsters in.

Given it is a Quinnipiac poll the actual numbers are likely in the 20s.

When you have lost Quinnipiac......

Your party isn't in a position to say "two can play that [redistricting] game", because your party started it.

If Republicans can actually implement their redistrcting proposals, Democrats will have no effective counter. You know why? Because Demcorats have already exploited this tactic to almost the maximum extent possible.

From the little polling I've seen, Noisome's re-gerrymandering effort might be blocked by CA voters defeating his initiative that would allow it.

I'm going to help the DUmbAsses and give them some insights that may just turn their numbers around.

1. Men can NOT get pregnant nor give birth. Stop saying that they can.
2. If you are born with an "innie" genitalia, then the chances are very near 100% that you are female. If you are born with an "outie" genitalia, then the chances are very near 100% that you are a male. Stop saying that's not true.
3. Just like you can't magically become a unicorn because you "identify" as a unicorn, a person can NOT magically become a different gender by "identifying" as a different gender.  Stop saying that they can.
4. Unless a person has some sort of serious dermatological condition, they should NOT get special treatment because of the color of their skin. Stop saying that they should.
5. Boys and girls are different. Stop saying that they are not.
6. If a person is able in both body and mind, they should not get government handouts from cradle to the grave. Stop saying that they should.
7. A person is not a "fascist" or a "nazi" simply because they refuse to go along with your silly ideas and delusions. Stop saying that they are.

The list could go on, but the gist of it is to stop saying and doing stupid and/or untrue things that normal, sane people know are stupid and/or untrue things. All it really requires is common sense. Oops, I suppose that makes it a no-go for you guys.
