    According to the survey of 1,500 registered voters, which was conducted between July 16 and 20, a whopping 63% of the public views the Democratic Party unfavorably — “the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990.” Just 33%, meanwhile, have a favorable view.

    Both President Donald Trump and the GOP are also underwater, but not by nearly the margins the Democrats are. Trump is viewed favorably by 45% and unfavorably by 52%, while Republicans are viewed favorably by 43% and unfavorably by 54%.

    “Favorably” is doing a hell of a lot of lifting here.

    What’s more is that voters believe Republicans in Congress are better suited to handle the economy, inflation, immigration, illegal immigration, tariffs, foreign policy and Ukraine. The only issues Democrats boast advantages with are healthcare and vaccines.

    I can’t even conceive of this. That’s beyond comprehension.

    John Anzalone, the Democratic pollster responsible for working on the poll alongside longtime Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, commented on the results by observing that ““The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party.”

    Okay well that’s like the third red flag already in, what, five paragraphs?

    “Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems,” he added.

    “Real voters AND working people”. Got it.

    The survey’s margin of error is 2.5%, and respondents were contacted on their landlines and cell phones.

    Hello? Why yes I’d love to take fifteen minutes to answer some very important questions as to my specific thoughts and situation.

    Anyone here do that? Anyone know someone who would? Is that person kind of a dick? Yeah.

      I don’t know ANYONE with a land line. That includes boomers. None of my boomer family members have one. I can’t imagine what kind of person still does.
