Democrats Are More Pessimistic About Party’s Future

Pew Research: “Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Democrats’ pessimism about their party’s future is now higher than at any point over the last eight years.”

“By contrast, Republicans’ optimism is at its highest point in Pew Research Center postelection surveys conducted since 2016, including after Trump’s election win eight years ago.”

Key takeaway: “For the first time since 2016, more Americans say the Republican Party represents the interests of ‘people like them’ very or somewhat well than say this about the Democratic Party (50% vs. 43%).”
