Mediaite quotes a
Pew Research Center poll which finds public attitudes toward the two major parties are identical.
Americans currently hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic party. According to the poll, 45 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democrats, compared with 52 percent who hold an unfavorable view. Those numbers mirror the Republican party exactly. The GOP also stands at 45-52 in those metrics.
The news in these numbers is this:
Last September, ahead of the 2018 midterms, the numbers told a different story. Fifty-three percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of Democrats prior to the election, compared to 42 percent who had an unfavorable opinion.
All it took to torpedo the Dems favorability rating was their covey of presidential aspirants going public with out-of-the-mainstream views. In a downbeat world you take your good news where you find it and, for Republicans, this is good news.
