Democrats' positivity about the party still in the dumps since Trump victory, poll finds

Only around 7 out of 10 Democrats (70%) hold a favorable view of their political party, according to new polling from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Democrats’ favorability of their party stood at 85% in September 2024 but plummeted after President Donald Trump won the presidential election. By October 2025, just 67% of Democrats had a favorable view of their party, according to the poll.

Republicans are aiming to cling to their House and Senate majorities during the midterms later this year.
