The public favorable view of the Democratic Party is down to 41% whereas their favorable view of the Republican Party is up to 42%. The article says this difference between the parties isn't significant, and I agree. However Gallup says:
Americans' favorable rating of the Democratic Party dropped to 41% in a late March USA Today/Gallup poll, the lowest point in the 18-year history of this measure.
That drop, friends, is highly significant. Gallup tells us why we should care about these poll results:
The images of the two major parties have particular significance in a midterm election year.
Ratings like these for the Dems are often accompanied by terrible electoral results.
