A new poll reveals that many Democrat voters view their own party as “out of touch,” “woke,” and “weak.” The survey, conducted by the Democratic super PAC Unite the Country and obtained by The Hill, focused on voters in 21 battleground counties across 10 key states between May and June.
The findings suggest that Democrats must rebuild trust before many voters will consider returning to the party.
“This is the reality of the perception of us as a party, and until we accept that, it’s going to be hard to move forward,” said Democrat strategist Rodell Mollineau, a senior adviser to Unite the Country.
“There’s a perception out there, outside of Democratic elites, and it’s taken hold in not just the MAGA crowd but people that should be with us.”
Mollineau emphasized the need for the party to evolve: “Democrats need to realize that in order to improve and get better to not only win in 2028 but to win in 2030 and 2032 and beyond.”
