Democrats Warned to Ditch Progressive Language After New Report Shows Party Drift

By: David Weigel | Semafor The Scoop Democrats have badly weakened their party with left-leaning ideas and rhetoric, growing only with self-described “white liberals” while losing ground with other voters, according to a new center-left group’s report shared first with Semafor. The group, called Welcome, consulted hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its broad findings, including that 70% of voters think the Democratic Party is “out of touch.” Most voters, the group found, believe the party over-prioritizes issues like “protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” and “fighting climate change” while not caring about “securing the border” or “lowering the rate of crime.” (Welcome began as a PAC in 2022, then founded a nonprofit with the same name for political res...

Has the Left Grown Too Comfortable With Political Violence?

By Michael Barone | Commentary, Washington Examiner Why are so many Democrats fond of wishing death on their opponents? That’s a question raised by two astonishing developments early this month. On Oct. 3, National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg revealed texts Jay Jones had sent, perhaps mistakenly, to a Democratic colleague, bemoaning the cordial remarks the then-Republican speaker was delivering after the death of a Democrat. “If these guys die before me,” he wrote, “I will go to their funerals to p— on their graves, Send them awash in something.” Prompted, he goes on. “Three people, two bullets. Gilbert” — the Republican speaker — “hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets in the head. Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you ...

From border hawks to benefit brokers: How Democrats flipped on illegal immigration

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Let's waltz through the decades with Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, comparing their former stern warnings with their current soft-shoe routines. Buckle up, because this flip-flop parade will be an inconvenient sashay through their past statements. Back in 1996, Senator Chuck Schumer was the sheriff of congressional fiscal responsibility, wielding his gavel like a six-shooter. “People say, why can't you stop illegal immigrants from coming here? The number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud,” he declared during a U.S. House session. Fast forward to 2025. Last week, Schumer and his caucus sh...

Poll shows Trump policies unpopular yet Democrats face their own backlash

By John Frank | Axios Denver President Trump and his policies are deeply unpopular in blue-state Colorado, according to a new independent poll, but the numbers still offer Republicans a glimmer of hope. Why it matters: The wide-ranging survey released Monday by Colorado-based Magellan Strategies comes a year before the 2026 midterm elections and reflects deep cynicism among voters toward both major parties. State of play: Trump's job approval in Colorado is 41% with 59% disapproving, a familiar upside-down result driven by the opposition to his agenda. Two out of every three Colorado voters view the One Big Beautiful Bill Act unfavorably. About 60% oppose Trump's cuts to federal agencies. 57% oppose the president's tariffs on foreign goo...

Conservative message struggles as Gen Z buys into Democratic narrative

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal A Yale Youth Poll from the spring of 2025 found that voters between the ages of 18 and 21 favored Republican candidates by double digits, which could be a sign that Democrats are finally slipping with America’s younger demographic. The survey revealed that although young people between the ages of 22 and 29 favored the Democratic candidate in their home congressional district for the 2026 election by a margin of about six points, those aged 18 and 21 favored the Republican candidate in their home district by almost 12 points. That’s a massive shift from years past, when younger voters in high school and college were virtually a lock for liberals. Has the left finally gone too far? In a piece outlining the poll ...

Gingrich: Democrats abandon centrism for big government socialism

By Newt Gingrich | Commentary, Substack The big government socialist wing has become the dominant force in what used to be a much more centrist Democratic Party. This week Sen. Elizabeth Warren aggressively endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York and attacked former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams. It’s clear where the energy and drive in the Democratic Party is. Of course, Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was heralded by an astounding number of Democrats comfortable voting for explicit socialist Senator Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign. Running against establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, the Vermont socialist received 43 percent of the vote. When 12 million Americans were willing to turn the White House over to an avow...

DEVINE: Democrats Brace as Russiagate Cover-Up Unravels in Public View

By Miranda Devine | Commentary, New York Post Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as “Russian disinformation” the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous “years-long coup” against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, nearly two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) “very closely” (32%) or “somewhat closely” (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration’s fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Trump as a Kremlin ...

New poll: Republicans seen as having the clearer plan for the country

By Victoria Balara | Fox News Yet the Republican Party loses ground to the Democrats on handling key issues With the 2026 midterm elections more than a year away, a new Fox News survey finds that while the Republican Party has lost some ground to the Democratic Party on handling key issues, voters are more likely to think the GOP has a clear plan for dealing with the country’s problems.  The survey, released Thursday, finds that by a 10-point margin, more voters think the Republicans have a clear plan for the U.S. than the Democrats: 43% vs. 33%.  Still, majorities feel neither the GOP (54%) or the Democrats (64%) have a plan. This is about where sentiment was three years ago, the last time the question was asked.  Far more Republicans (79%) than D...

Jerkovich: Latest poll confirms Democrats are losing the middle

By Katie Jerkovich | RedState Democrats have been something to watch since President Donald Trump's victory in November, and a new poll shows their antics attempting to resist everything about President Trump's second term, from anti-ICE protests to blocking the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, have backfired. A new I&I/TIPP Insights poll found that most voters see the Democrat Party as "too radical." And with the likes of Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) parading radical Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani around Washington, D.C, after his victory in New York City's Democrat mayoral primary race, is it really any wonder why they feel that way? As RedState reported, people like veteran Democratic strategist James Carville have tried to sound the alarm...

Dem Insider Carville Admits He’s ‘Praying’ for Economic Collapse for a Chance to Beat Trump

 By Gabriel Hays | Fox News Some Democratic strategists are so desperate for the party to start performing better, that they’re hoping for the economy to tank. A report from The Hill on Tuesday quoted several Democratic strategists reflecting on what they see as the dismal state of the Democratic Party. One said the party should be "praying" for a depression as a lifeline for their declining popularity following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory. "This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems right now," an anonymous strategist told the outlet. "We better pray long and hard that the country is going to be in a f‑‑‑--- depression, because I don’t know how else we find ourselves out of this mess." The Hill report prefaced that sobering impression of the Democratic Party ...
