Harris Polling has revealed that the Democratic Party’s approval rating has dipped to 40%, indicating growing voter dissatisfaction in the wake of recent political setbacks. The Republican Party currently holds a stronger position with a 48% approval rating, with 85% of Republicans expressing strong support. Despite the setback, Democratic Party leaders have remained hopeful regarding potential opportunities for recovery as the midterm cycle approaches.

Harris Poll President Mark Penn stated, “Democrats are doing a good job throwing jabs at the administration but that’s not helping them with their own image, which remains in the cellar.”

Columbia University Political Science Professor Robert Y. Shapiro said, “If this is larger increase than for other groups it is hard to evaluate. Approval ratings increase when there is more good news than bad news reported about presidents."

Shapiro added, "I can only speculate that this increase was a cumulative effect of the good news about Iran bombing of nuclear facilities. This was the best news that Trump has received of late; next might be the last jobs report.”
