The data show the Democratic Party retaining advantages among people of color and young adults, but in 2023 it was in a weaker position among these groups than at any point in the past quarter century. Democrats’ reduced support among Black and Hispanic adults should be especially concerning for the party, given Republicans’ continued strength among White adults, who remain the majority of the electorate.

    Oh look, another poll in which they ask you how you feel instead of who you plan on voting for.

    Polls have been complete garbage since 2019 & have gotten even worse since. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, there is a nine+ point difference in the Democrat’s favor between the polls & actual votes, natinonwide.

      Why? These are two different issues to be polled on.

      You’re assuming that everyone will maintain their enthusiasm to vote. A poll of who you want to vote for won’t reflect that.

        Missing the point. Polls nationwide currently do not reflect reality & haven’t for some time now.

          You do realize this is a poll about broad party sentiment, right? This isn’t about who’s voting for who. While more localized polling is important, there are important trends you can track at a national level.

          Go read the article instead of hitting up the comment section first.

      There are polls for that. This is a long standing poll that we can use to track trends in party identification.
