I wrote earlier about how Democrats tripped all over themselves with a marvelous mistake that is a perfect example of how they don’t understand the economy. They posted a graph about a rise in prices, captioning it “Trump’s America.”
The problem? The graph showed that the rise in prices came under Joe Biden, and that it had previously been flat during President Donald Trump’s first term (and has flattened again in his second). What a self-own that was.
If they can’t even read a graph intelligently, how can they deal with the economy?

Of course, that’s just one problem with the Democrats, and it’s one of those bread-and-butter issues that Americans decide elections on. They’ve been on the wrong side of so many of them, including things like illegal immigration.
Pew Research has new polling that isn’t looking good for Democrats, with a very critical group of people you normally would think might tend to lean left — young men.
Look at the number identifying as Republican overall.

Gee, maybe Democrats constantly demonizing men isn’t going over well. Maybe having an economic plan that helps make their lives better is better than Democrat division.
Check the split here. Generally, this has been an age group that leans heavily toward the Democrats. Yet, the overall numbers have closed to within 6 points, likely because of that shift of the men.

Then, let’s review the party identification trend overall — it’s not good for Democrats. The shift from 2008 is stunning.
Pew Research – Party Affiliation trends (with indie leaners)
🔵 2008: Dem 51-39%
🔵 2012: Dem 48-44%
🔵 2016: Dem 48-44%
🔵 2018: Dem 50-42%
🔵 2020: Dem 49-43%
🔵 2022: Dem 47-45%
🔴 2024: GOP 47-46%
🔴 2025: GOP 46-45%— InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) July 24, 2025
Now more identify as Republican, with indie leaners.
But, even with that, we see another attempt at narrative pushing is failing with people. The prediction was that once the tariffs kicked in, prices would skyrocket. That created a lot of worry in April, and stock disturbance. However, since that hasn’t happened, the stock market has not only recovered but it has hit record highs. If we take this Fabrizio poll as any indication of a trend, people are waking up and not buying the narrative.
How would you rate the US Economy?

Fabrizio (R)/Impact (D) for WSJ— InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) July 25, 2025
That’s another huge swing, 23 points. That “Excellent/Good” number will likely go above 50, as they see more and more of the economic deals and policies kick in. That’s even with the media and Democrats being constant Debbie Downers.
This can’t make Democrats happy.

Add that to the financial/fundraising situation that they’re in, with Republicans having a ton more, and the Democrats have to be shaking in their boots over 2026 and beyond.
Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
