And while the political environment has worsened for the president and his party, Democrats have yet to convince voters that they offer a compelling alternative. The poll indicated that Democrats have not improved their political brand, even after more than a year of trying to demonstrate that they understand the concerns of voters and can stand up to Mr. Trump.

Just 26 percent of voters said they were satisfied with the Democratic Party.

The discontent includes a significant number of Democrats who expressed reservations about their own party. Forty-four percent of Democrats described themselves as unsatisfied, while just 23 percent of Republicans said the same about their party.

“They’re just not fighting back hard enough in my eyes,” said Matthew Berryhill, 35, a recruiter from Marietta, Ga., a pivotal battleground area in the state’s key Senate race this year, who described himself as a progressive Democrat. “They come out with strong statements and strong words, and no action to back it up.”

Have you thanked the Supreme Leader today for defeating the GOP in Pokemon Go to the Polls?

I fully agree that this country is fucking cooked, but let's be accurate with the numbers here.

70% of Republican voters is only like 8% of the total US population, not 50%. See @trabpukcip@hexbear.net's comment here. I'm taking his word for it on the number of registered republicans and the total population is 342 million. 27 million is about 7.9% of 342 million.

So that 70% of Republican voters is a good bit less than even a tenth of the country, not half.
