(13,081 posts)They paid for this particular poll, but it was conducted by two polling orgs, one Dem and one GOP. Not on "Fox News viewers."
The Democratic Party is at its lowest point in a hundred years. That's not a Faux News poll, it's an objective fact. Maybe, if we want to win elections, we should start listening to the people who are well liked by the general population.
More importantly, all the other recent polls are showing the same thing: the Democratic Party is not well liked, to say the least.
It seems to me as if many of our leaders and members absolutely refuse to admit any failings or change anything at all. Lots of fingers pointing at other things (most of which are valid), but an almost frightening lack of introspection.
