Gallup released the results of a devastating new poll Tuesday, indicating Americans are majoritively fed up with the Democratic Party.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are not well liked by the majority of Americans. The latest Economist/YouGov poll put their unfavorability at 55.4% and 54%, respectively; 57% of respondents also indicated they disapproved of the job the geriatric president is doing.
Biden and Harris are not, however, the only Democrats in Washington out of favor with the American public.
According to the results from a Sept. 1-23 Gallup poll, 58% of Americans now hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party at large.
When asked which political party would do a better job of keeping the country prosperous, 53% of respondents said the GOP. Only 39% answered Democratic.
On national security, 57% of respondents said Republicans would do a better job protecting the nation from international terrorism and military threats; 35% said they preferred Democrats at the helm.
On this question, 56% of independents went with the GOP, and 30% went with the Democrats.
When asked which party would best handle their top problem, 44% of respondents went with Republicans and 36% went with Democrats.
Democrats appear to have less confidence in their party than Republicans do in theirs.
92% of Republicans said their party was best equipped to handle the most important problem. Only 86% of Democrats could say the same.
When it came to protecting the nation, 81% of Democratic respondents said their party had what it takes versus 93% of Republicans who said the same of their own. 17% of Democratic respondents said Republicans were better equipped to protect the nation. On the flip side, only 2% of Republican respondents said Democrats could make do.
Gallup concluded that “Americans currently see Republicans as the party better equipped [regarding economic security and safety from military threats], which could enhance Republicans’ position in promoting their agenda in Washington in the near term.”
While the poll painted a bleak picture for Democrats, the Republican Party is not, on the whole, looking a great deal better, scoring only 2 points better on overall unfavorability than its counterpart.
The unpopularity of the two parties appears to have created an unprecedented opportunity for an alternative.
Gallup reported Wednesday that 63% of U.S. adults are so disenchanted with both major parties that they’ve determined “a third major party is needed.” 58% of Republican respondents said so, up 13 points over last year.
This response represents the highest measure since the question was first asked by Gallup in 2003.
