Democrats are facing one of the steepest political declines in recent memory, with new polling showing their brand collapsing even among their own voters.
According to Sean Hannity, a recently released NBC News survey found Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the broader Democratic Party mired at just 30% approval among registered voters, while 52% view the party negatively. As reported by Sean Hannity, the poll is merely the latest in a year-long series of warning signs for Democrats as they attempt to claw their way out of the political wilderness and reclaim House and Senate majorities in the 2026 midterm elections.
From Fox News: The poll, the latest over the past year to indicate the Democratic Party brand, in some cases, hitting historic lows, comes as Democrats aim to escape the political wilderness and win back House and Senate majorities in the 2026 midterm elections. The GOP, which must defend its narrow congressional majorities in 2026 amid a hostile media environment and a political climate that rarely favors the party in power, doesnt fare much better in the poll, which was conducted Feb. 27 through March 3.
Thirty-seven percent of registered voters said they viewed the Republican Party positively, with 51% seeing the GOP in a negative light. Yet Democrats are being dragged down most by their own base, as only 62% of Democrats questioned in the survey viewed their party positively, compared to 77% of Republicans who gave the GOP a favorable rating.
The NBC News results landed just days after a Fox News national poll showed a record 70% of registered voters disapproved of the job Congressional Democrats are doing, up 6 points since December 2025, while views of congressional Republicans werent much better, with 64% disapproving. Only 63% of Democrats questioned in the Fox News poll approved of the job their party was doing in Congress, compared to 77% of Republicans who gave GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill a thumbs up.
In this environment of broad anti-establishment sentiment, President Donald Trump still maintains a stronger personal standing than either party, with Trumps approval rating in the NBC News poll at 44%, with 54% disapproving of the job hes doing in the White House. For conservatives, the data underscore a familiar reality: while both parties face skepticism, Democrats are bearing the brunt of voter frustration, and Republicansbuoyed by a more loyal baseenter 2026 with a clearer path to preserving their majorities if they stay aligned with the America First agenda.
