It claims that rather than focusing \u200don constructive strategies, Democrats are hoping for President Donald Trump&#8217;s failure. A recent \u2062Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll shows Trump with\u2062 a 52% approval\u2062 rating,\u200b while democrats have reached a\u200c low of 36%. The poll indicates that\u2062 many\u2062 voters prefer Trump&#8217;s \u200bpolicies, such as deporting \u200cillegal immigrants who commit crimes and eliminating government waste.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their criticisms of Trump and his governance, particularly \u2063regarding his \u200bDepartment of Government Efficiency (DOGE), public opinion seems to support DOGE&#8217;s initiatives.

The narrative contends that Democrats need to align \u200dwith the interests of ordinary\u2063 Americans instead of catering to elite values, suggesting their \u2063reliance on traditional media\u2064 is diminishing due to choice platforms like X (formerly Twitter).\u2063 the article implies that \u2064Democrats&#8217; \u2063current strategies are ineffective, \u2063jeopardizing their political future while allowing for potential growth for the country \u200bunder Trump&#8217;s administration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democrats have nothing: no capable leaders, no immediate electoral prospects, and no issues on which to appeal to voters.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if their immediate strategy involves hoping that President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/just-trump-names-dan-bongino-2nd-command-fbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> fails, or hoping to spin a narrative suggesting that Americans disapprove of the president, then they really have nothing.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Harvard CAPS (Center for American Political Studies)\/Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/press-release-february-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> released Monday, Trump maintains a 52 percent approval rating after his first month in office, including high marks for nearly all of his policies, while Democrats have plummeted to an all<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberals-sour-on-sen-feinstein-leading-to-all-time-low-approval-rating\/\" title=\"Liberals Sour On Sen. Feinstein, Leading To All-Time ... ... Rating\">-time low approval rating<\/a> of only 36 percent.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 2,443 registered voters completed the survey online Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Encouragingly, a strong majority (58 percent) of respondents credited Trump with a better job performance than former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the poll produced positive news all around for the president.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, respondents identified deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (81 percent), eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditures (76 percent), and closing the border (76 percent) as the three Trump policies of which they most approved.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Democrats have spent weeks demonizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-makes-new-elon-announcement-just-libs-thought-couldnt-get-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk<\/a>, head of Trump&rsquo;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).<\/p>\n<p>Their hyperventilating objections to DOGE&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fact-check-usaid-leftist-money-laundering-scheme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breathtaking revelations<\/a> of waste and fraud in government agencies, however, have not affected public opinion. A strong majority of respondents believe that DOGE has helped cut government spending (60 percent) and that those expenditures required a full examination (77 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, on the other hand, &ldquo;earned&rdquo; their worst approval rating since at least March 2018 thanks to low marks from 86 percent of Republicans, a whopping 70 percent of Independents, and even a hilarious 33 percent of their fellow Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS \/ Harris poll, summarized the findings.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;People are taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">generally positive wait-<\/a>and-see attitude for Trump but have really reassessed their attitudes toward Biden, Harris, and the Democrats, taking a much harsher, more negative attitude,&rdquo; Penn said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Trump has a real opportunity here &ndash; we&rsquo;re seeing a healthy, trudging approval edging toward real approval based on how the next couple of months turn out.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Deep down, Democrats probably view respondents&rsquo; approval of Trump and his policies as the poll&rsquo;s least disheartening result.<\/p>\n<p>After all, politically and culturally, the president has thoroughly vanquished his enemies. Democrats, if injected with truth serum &mdash; it would require the strongest possible dose &mdash; would almost certainly admit as much.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, they pinned their hopes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-reporter-nailed-wild-lie-doge-trots-elons-nazi-narrative-desperate-attempt-distract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacking Musk<\/a>. But that approach, judging by approval of DOGE&rsquo;s mission, has failed miserably.<\/p>\n<p>In short, only one viable strategy remains. Democrats must actually do something that ordinary Americans want.<\/p>\n<p>Therein, however, lies the rub.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats cannot support policies that make sense to ordinary Americans, for the party has sold its soul to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/vs-u-s-study-exposes-profound-threat-authoritarian-elites-pose-ordinary-americans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">authoritarian elites<\/a>. And those elites despise their fellow citizens to the core of their beings.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Democrats have relied on their minions in the establishment media to manipulate audiences. Thanks to Musk&rsquo;s social media platform X, however, the establishment no longer has an effective information monopoly.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, therefore, appear likely to flounder for the foreseeable future, which means the country will thrive.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

The survey included responses from 2,443 registered voters and revealed that 58% believe Trump is performing better than former President Joe Biden. Additionally, respondents favored Trump&#8217;s policies on deporting criminals (81%), reducing government waste (76%), and border security (76%). Despite Democrats&#8217; attempts to criticize Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency&#8217;s findings on government waste, public opinion remains largely unaffected; many believe DOGE has successfully reduced spending (60%) and warranted thorough scrutiny (77%). Consequently, Democrats have received their lowest approval ratings since March 2018 due to negative feedback from Republicans (86%), Independents (70%), and even some Democrats (33%). Mark Penn from the Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll noted that while people are cautiously optimistic about Trump, they have become increasingly critical of Biden and the Democratic Party. Ultimately, for Democrats to regain favor with ordinary Americans, they must align with policies that resonate with them\u2014a challenge given their ties to authoritarian elites who disdain average citizens.
