Gallup reports "the Democratic Party’s 34% favorable rating is the lowest Gallup has measured for the group in its trend dating back to 1992. The prior low was 36% in November 2014" I agree it is nice that some progressive Democrats have done well. Feels good but doesn't fix the bigger problem.
As I've pointed out, the problem is white voters. Dems haven't won a majority of white voters since the passage of the Civil Rights &Voting Rights Acts. Not a coincidence. They will be an ever present problem, made worse by Obama's presidency. Read this book...
Totally agree with you, white voters are the problem for Democrats and thanks for the book recommendation.
Not necessarily progressive, they were a spectrum of Dem options. The plurality say THEY WILL VOTE for Dems. It's predicted we'll do better than Rs. Good enough for me.
