Democrats Are Many Things, Popular Isn’t One of Them

A May 2025 Economist/YouGov poll reveals that Democrats have a 21% greater unfavorable rating compared to favorable opinions, trailing the GOP, whose unfavorable margin stands at 11%.
This result follows continued warnings since the 2024 election that Democrats must improve or risk losing more voters amid persistent unpopularity.
Key Democratic figures include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, who ran the 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour targeting wealthy Americans but faced criticism over private jet use.
Senator Cory Booker is releasing a book titled 'Stand' based on his 25-hour Senate speech criticizing Trump, and a GOP-focused book tour is expected.
Despite these efforts, poll data suggest Democrats remain unpopular, raising doubts about translating activism into electoral gains in 2025.
