The Democratic Party’s image has eroded to its lowest point in more than three decades, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll, with voters seeing Republicans as better at handling most issues that decide elections.

The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.

    In a time of extreme partisanship, color me surprised that a right leaning publication found the voters it polled disliked Democrats more than ever. Mainline democrats definitely have their share of problems, but WSJ found that Republicans are preferred on most issues?

    That’s very telling of who was polled…

    If a Murdoch rag hiring a republiQan to gin up fake news by crank calling 1500 landlines is some sort of wake up call for the Democrats, they’re in worse shape than we thought.

    When I hear something like this, my first reaction is “What the fuck, seriously? While… the Republicans are doing everything they are doing right now?!”. And my second reaction is “hmm what would I answer if I got this question…”.

    So yeah, let’s hope it just shows that a bigger part of the electorate finally wants someone that really has a vision of the future and wants to fight for a better place, and not just preserve the status quo without doing anything (and not that the people actually prefer fascism).
