Democrats will do well in 2026 because of Trump pushback. Because 'Trump Bad' messaging will work. Disappointed democrats responding negatively about approval of the party in polls will still show up and vote despite their disapproval.
In 2026 democrats will NOT do well because they have presented a coherent message of exactly how they will do good for swing and soft voters. They will NOT do well because their leaders have figured out how to talk to people.

If the leaders don't figure out a coherent message that speaks to swing voters and soft democrats, and if our leaders are not replaced or do not learn how to speak to those people, 2028 will go poorly because 'Trump Bad' as a central message will not work at that point.

Advocate for jury nullification against Republican laws.

Call out the extremism of absurd medical bills.

“Ask your doctor if universal healthcare is right for you” is a symbol we should be spreading about as well.

Jobs that were in ICE detention camps were flagged as inappropriate by us.

And we must agree that we can not pass problems off for future generations to solve.

"And we must agree that we can not pass problems off for future generations to solve."

When you have mostly corporate owned media, an entire network (Fox) that lies about Democrats 24/7, a ratio of 10/1 rightwing hate radio to every leftwing radio programming, and frankly, a political that really needs to work on its messaging, is anyone surprised?

and not about the people who are struggling to make ends meet. The result is a base that is obsessed about Trump, and not concentrating on economic issues, unless it is how Trump's policies are affecting people. This is good for ratings, and it does not make the corporate sponsors nervous. We can break through and become the dominate party if we get with reality.

Please tell me where this is.

difference in their lives. That's why we are trading elections with the Republicans as voters, in their minds, are voting for the lesser of two evils. There is a reason why 40% of voters are not registered as Democrats or Republicans. We need to earn voters trust that we are going to make a difference in their lives.

Democrats are doing quite well in elections across the country.

I'll go with that. Plus Republicans rarely spout about the unfavorable numbers about their party, and this includes the fucked up corporate media.

Even shithole is hated in large numbers.

because of their biased coverage against Dems.

I'm sure enough people realize Dems need to take back control of the House for us to do it. If we can't do ti under these horrible circumstances, with this horrible POTUS, then the country is screwed for decades if not forever.

How do Trump's approval compare to Democrats overall?

This is the attitude IMO needs to be adopted by anyone resisting MAGA!

How many people were asked these questions? What were the demographics of the polled group? Did they release the raw data from the poll?

This is the first I've heard of this "28%" number.

I'm sorry but I believe most of these credible polls. I know how to week=d out the phony ones (Rasmussen and RMG). The polls may be off 4 or 5%, but the CNN, FOX News and NY Times are pretty accurate.

Here's the Poll from CNN:

The dot-matrix printout look really takes me back. Makes it irritating to scan though. Did you find a link to the survey in the article? If not, how did you find it? Cheers.

my takeaway after looking at that poll was the D 72% v R 49% "extremely motivated to vote in the next election" tab. I think a lot of Democrats probably responded to that poll honestly... they are unhappy with Democrats. That doesn't mean they aren't going to vote for them. That's why i prefer looking at the questions asked by the pollster (i didn't see a link to the actual poll or the phrasing of the questions in the link you offered). Also the sampling error is a relatively high 8.3%.

I am way past my frustration level.....
