Democratic favorability reaches lowest mark in years: Poll

A new poll says the Democratic Party’s approval ratings have dropped to their lowest mark in 25 years.

The poll from CNN/SSRS claims only 37 percent of Americans favor the Democratic Party, compared to the 44 percent who held that opinion back in March of this year.

The numbers come during the release of former Democratic National Committee Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile’s new book, which has created tension within the Democratic Party with reports of infighting during the campaign in 2016.

In regards to voting in 2018, the poll says Democratic or Democratic-leaning independent registered voters who express their enthusiasm for voting reached a mere 36 percent, in contrast to the 44 percent who said they would in September. The poll also reports registered voters mainly cast their votes due to their dislike of a party rather than support of one.

There is also a very small approval rating for the GOP tax reform plans throughout all Americans.

The poll from SSRS shows that only 31 percent of Americans support the plan. Out of those Americans who support the tax plan, 64 percent are Republican, 31 percent are Independent, and 8 percent are Democrats.
