Democratic Voters Are Dissatisfied With Their Own Party, See No Clear Party Leader [1]

['Lew Blank']

Date: 2025-03-28

After Democrats’ electoral losses in 2024, the party has been divided over the best approach for opposing President Donald Trump and building a large tent of support to compete in future elections. Some Democrats have taken to the road to call out billionaire influence in Trump’s administration, while others voted to censure a colleague who interrupted Trump’s joint address to Congress.

The tactical divide came to a head earlier this month, when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined eight Democrats and one Independent to vote for a Republican spending bill and prevent a government shutdown.

Two new Data for Progress surveys of Democrats and Independents who lean Democratic reveal a party with no clear leader and a base of voters dissatisfied with their own party. These voters want a leadership willing to fight back against Trump and fight for the working class.

When Democratic voters are asked how they would grade the Democratic Party on its response to Trump, 70% give the party a C or below. About 1 in 5 Democratic voters (21%) give the party an F.
