Ah yes, the great Democratic meltdown of 2025 — now featuring even lower approval ratings and more internal backbiting than a Real Housewives reunion.
Since President Donald J. Trump strutted back into the White House earlier this year, the left has been in full-blown panic mode. And it’s not just their usual anti-Trump theatrics — now they’re turning on each other. Turns out, if you shout “resistance” long enough without actually accomplishing anything, people notice.
What we’re seeing here is the political equivalent of a circular firing squad. Democratic voters aren’t just mad at Republicans (that’s standard procedure), they’re furious with their own leaders for not being loud enough in their outrage. Because apparently, decibel level equals effectiveness now. Forget legislation, forget strategy — if you’re not screaming about Trump on MSNBC every night, you’re part of the problem.
And the numbers? Woof. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, only 39% of Democrats approve of how their own party is doing in Congress. Let’s put that in perspective: that’s less than the approval rating of airline food. A whopping 52% of Democrats think their party’s congressional performance is a disaster — and these are the people who still support the party! That’s not a red flag; that’s a blaring alarm with flashing lights and a “MAYDAY” siren.
Polling analyst Tim Malloy didn’t sugarcoat it — he called the numbers “flat out terrible.” And that’s putting it nicely. You could say Democrats in Congress are facing a credibility crisis, but that implies they had credibility to begin with.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress aren’t exactly basking in five-star reviews either, pulling in a modest 33% approval. But let’s be honest — for a legislative body that’s been dealing with a media onslaught, activist harassment, and a D.C. swamp that still hasn’t drained itself, it’s not unexpected. What matters more is the internal support: 77% of Republicans are standing behind their GOP lawmakers. That kind of base unity doesn’t just happen — it’s earned. And it’s exactly what keeps the momentum going into a tough midterm season.
Now, let’s talk Trump. Forty percent approval may not have CNN reaching for the confetti, but considering the non-stop media barrage and the ever-shrinking attention span of the American public, it’s not exactly the disaster the left was hoping for. Especially since he started his second term with numbers above water. Let’s not forget — this is a man who’s had to govern with one hand on the pen and the other blocking lawsuits, subpoenas, and whatever stunt the Resistance conjures up that week.

So here we are, with Democrats in a full-blown identity crisis, hemorrhaging support from their own voters, and frantically trying to out-outrage each other. Meanwhile, Republicans, while not perfect, are doing what they came to do: hold the line, fight the cultural insanity, and back a president who actually knows how to get people’s attention.
Yes, the GOP is defending tight majorities in both chambers next year, and yes, midterms are traditionally rough on the party in power. But let’s not forget — these aren’t traditional times. The Democrats are busy self-destructing, Trump is still the most dominant political figure on the planet, and Republicans are finally learning the lesson the left forgot: unity beats noise, every time.
