Democrats in Congress in trouble

 MSNBC - A Quinnipiac University national poll released last week found that Democrats in Congress have hit an all-time low in rankings since the pollster began measuring congressional performance in 2009. The big factor that explains it: A ton of Democratic voters are unhappy with the party’s response — or lack thereof — to the start of President Trump’s second term. That dissatisfaction underscores how Democrats have yet to find a clear and compelling voice in pushing back against Trump’s astonishing takeover of Washington in his first month back in office.

According to Quinnipiac's poll of more than 1,000 registered voters, conducted between Feb. 13 and Feb. 17, just 21% of voters approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing, while 68% disapprove. It’s not surprising that only 8% of Republican voters approve of congressional Democrats. But it is striking that only 40% of Democrats do. According to Quinnipiac, 49% of Democrats disapprove of what Democrats in Congress are doing.  More
