Poll: Democrats are feeling pessimistic about party’s future

Democrats are down in the dumps following last November’s elections. According to a new AP NORC poll, Democrats are deeply pessimistic about the future of their party. The level of optimism is down sharply from last July — about the time President Biden dropped his re-election bid. Democrats are seeking momentum after losing the White House and both chambers of Congress. The survey also finds neither major political party is viewed favorably by the majority of U-S adults.
