The American Democratic Party is facing an unprecedented decline in popularity among the US population. According to the latest data, the Democrats' approval rating has dropped to 29%, the lowest in the party's history. This decline reflects voters' growing distrust of a political force that has traditionally positioned itself as a defender of the interests of the middle class and minorities.

Pollsters conducted in early 2025 point to several key reasons for this decline. First, the country’s continuing economic instability is undermining confidence in the current Democratic-led administration. Inflation, rising energy prices, and housing problems remain at the center of public discontent. Second, the party’s internal split between the progressive wing and moderates creates the impression of internal weakness and an inability to develop a unified strategy. Finally, Republican opponents are successfully exploiting these vulnerabilities, amplifying criticism ahead of the midterm elections.

By March 2025, the situation had only worsened. For example, The Washington Post reported in a recent article that the failure of several legislative initiatives, such as health care reform and the climate package, had further disappointed Democratic supporters.
