Democrats' popularity falls further as nearly two-thirds hold 'unfavorable' view of party: Poll

The fortunes of the Democratic Party continue to tank, with a new poll giving the party its lowest favorability rating in 35 years.

The poll from the Wall Street Journal found 63% of voters have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party, compared to 33% who hold a favorable view. This is compared to the 11% deficit in unfavorability suffered by the Republican Party. Enthusiasm is also on the Republicans’ side — just 8% of voters view the Democrats “very favorably,” while 19% view the Republicans “very favorably.”
