00:00Well, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats have hit a historic low, dating all the way
00:06back to 1990. Take a look at this. NBC News found that only 7% of Americans have a very
00:13positive view on Democrats. It's one of those polls to where you ask, what do you think
00:18of the Democrats? Very positive, slightly positive, neutral, negative, things like that.
00:23But take a look at these numbers. The Democratic Party's latest approval ratings hit a record
00:28low in a pair of polls on Sunday coming after a bruising 2024 election in which the Democrats
00:36lost the White House and the Senate. An NBC poll found 27% of registered voters say they
00:42view the party favorably. So their approval is down to 27%. The Democratic Party is the
00:48lowest favorability for the Democrats going back to 1990. Only 7% of survey respondents
00:55say they have a very positive view of the party. It's funny, you talk about the 1990s
00:59Bill Clinton. If you listen to what Bill Clinton was saying in the 1990s, he would seem very
01:03conservative today. I think that's a bigger point in terms of the Democrats. Even going
01:09back to 2007-2008, I was seeing old clips, debate footage of Obama and Hillary talking
01:15about deporting immigrants and just how crazy to the left they've gotten. And then all the
01:20gaslighting talking about America and just how racist we are and we're the real bad ones,
01:25not the Democratic Party. It's not like the Democratic Party has moved further and further
01:28to the left, which they have. Again, you can compare, go back to the 2008 Democratic primary,
01:33go back to the 90s. The people that were elected by the Democrats seem very conservative in
01:40the way they were talking just a decade, two decades ago. Even Joe Biden, how he had to
01:46evolve his views on LGBTQ issues, things like that. But to me, the 27%, if you're a Democrat,
01:54you can cope. You could say, well, it's an off year. It's kind of irrelevant. The midterms
01:59are next year. We'll have to see how well Trump does in terms of improving the economy
02:02right now. There's recession talk. There's other things. I've talked about all of that
02:06and the dynamics of it, but just if you're a Democrat, that's probably what they're saying.
02:10But you've also got this thing to where they have no identity. You take a look at some
02:13of these polls in terms of, and again, these are all relatively irrelevant, but it does
02:19go to show you just the idea of them not having a leader. It's like, who would you vote for
02:24as the 2028 nominee in a primary scenario? Kamala Harris is at 30%. She's leading. It's
02:30name recognition, absolutely, but it's more of a understanding and it magnifies the idea
02:37that there is no leader within the Democratic Party. With the Republicans, it's very easy
02:40to say, there's J.D. Vance. If it's not J.D. Vance, you could have wild cards like Tucker
02:45Carlson. If it's not him, you could have other people. I mean, DeSantis, Rubio, I don't really
02:50think either of them, but obviously Republicans are a lot deeper in terms of who's on their
02:56bench in a primary scenario. The Democrats, on the other hand, right now, AOC, it's just
03:02like AOC really maybe as a VP, but even that, it's just like, I don't see the appeal of
03:06AOC, especially when it comes to winning the Rust Belt at her young age at this point,
03:11even as a VP. But it's like, well, for the young people trying to get the young people
03:14back because Trump won a significant amount of young people relative to what Republicans
03:19normally win. And now the Democrats, believe it or not, are winning seniors over the age
03:23of 65 because of the social security narrative. Republicans are the ones saying, there's a
03:27big problem with social security. We have to do something. People are living longer.
03:31When you look at the ratio in terms of workers to benefactors, it was five to one. Now it's
03:38two and a half to one. There's a big problem with social security. But when you say that,
03:41you lose the seniors. But let's get back to this, 27%. And again, it's an off year. It's
03:47not an election year. So they need to find a leader. This whole thing with, you know,
03:52you see some of the people, whether it's AOC, Jasmine Crockett, just unprofessional. They do
03:58this thing to where they double, triple down on illegal immigration. Now you've got the activist
04:02judges trying to block gang members from Venezuela, like Venezuelan gang members from
04:07being deported. And they're like, no, I mean, number one, why are you even giving that order?
04:11They do this whole thing. And this is a good reason and a good example on why the Democratic
04:16Party is so unliked right now. Axios exclusive, the White House says it ignored a court order
04:21to turn around two plane loads of alleged Venezuelan gang members because the flights
04:26were over international waters and therefore the ruling didn't apply. According to officials,
04:30you've got J.D. Vance coming in. J.D. Vance is really, I mean, he is warming up right now in
04:37terms of being the nominee. And we knew this was going to happen. We did. We all knew this really
04:41even before Trump got elected. If Trump was going to be the guy, it was very likely going to be
04:44Vance unless Trump said he wanted his son to have it. Whoever Trump wants is probably who it's
04:49going to be. But my guess is they're really willing J.D. Vance into that role right now.
04:54You can see what Vance says. There were violent criminals and rapists in our country. Democrats
04:58fought to keep them here. President Trump deported them. And then they've got their
05:02activist judges trying to hide behind the whole court of law. Absolutely not. These judges are
05:08paid by the Democrats. They're put in place to try and restrict and hinder Trump's administration
05:14from moving forward with deportations. They know Republicans have been criticizing Trump on
05:19deportation numbers. So they're trying to make it harder for Trump. And they hide behind this
05:23idea of rule of law. You're trying to deport Venezuelan gangs. And they're saying, no,
05:29you can't do it. This is the rule of law. This is courts. And they say, no, I mean,
05:33when you put in the order to bring the gangs back, I mean, that's what it is. They want to
05:38bring the Venezuelan gang members back to the United States. The Democrats do. This is why
05:42they're at 27 percent. They want to bring gang members back to the United States. It's over
05:46international waters. We can't bring them back. It's not over U.S. territory. That's what the
05:51Trump administration said. But this is a very good example of why they've got such a low approval
05:55rating. It is very just these are the 80, 20 issues. They're still going on about the trans
06:02stuff. You would think. And Gavin Newsom did. He's basically admitted. And this is the shift
06:07that some of these Democrats are going to have to start doing when it comes to appealing to the
06:12general independence to the moderate liberals, the moderate conservatives. Gavin Newsom, basically
06:19with his podcast, he puts his hands up and say and says, we're wrong on that issue. That's what
06:23he did about the LGBT stuff. That's what he did about the pronouns. Now, some of these other
06:27liberals, the crazy ones like she, her pronouns, trans people, you know, you should be able to
06:33biological men should be able to compete with women. Newsom is like, all right, you got me.
06:37That's what they're going to start doing, because these are 80, 20 issues. You're not going to win
06:40them. Normal people think it's ridiculous. The idea that a biological man could compete with it
06:45with a female and the idea that, oh, well, you're insensitive. Well, you know what? Even if we were
06:50insensitive, we don't really care. There's far, far, far more women that would be disenfranchised
06:55biological male competing with them than, you know, the handful of biological males that are
07:02trans that are trying to compete with women. We're not going to disenfranchise all those women
07:05for single individual people. That's absurd. That's why it's an 80, 20 issue.
07:11So this is why they're at 27% and liberalism is being defeated in the United States.
07:17They're going to try and make their comeback during the midterms and say,
07:20oh, Trump's economy and stuff. I think the economy is going to be very much improved
07:23by even next year. We're looking at projections in 2027, 2028 of just extended bull markets. It's
07:31going to be really, really good because we know with the lower interest rates and the lower
07:35inflation, but is he going to be able to do it by the midterms next year? I think probably he will
07:40be. But at this point, liberalism has been defeated in the United States. They're going to
07:44make their comeback. They're a major party, obviously. They need a leader. And I'm not sure
07:49the leader right now has been revealed. I would say, you know, there's some fringe people trying
07:54to come in. It just comes off all cringey. You've got a lot of these Democrats taking the whole,
07:58well, I'm liberal, but I admit there's stuff wrong with the Democrats. And that's kind of
08:02what you have to do if you are a Democrat right now, because the 27% approval rating is based on
08:08their own citizens and their own members of that party saying, this is embarrassing. We lost to
08:13Trump. We don't even cope with the whole idea of winning the popular vote. They didn't even win
08:17that. So that's really the reality when it comes to that. Another good thing to look at here is the
08:25direction of country. And you can see a lot of this is Republicans galvanizing around Trump.
08:30So they're going to say when he gets in, you know, of course we're going in the right direction.
08:36You know, you can see right when Biden got in, when did Biden get in? I mean,
08:41they jumped a little bit, but I mean, this is a pretty big jump in terms of people thinking we're
08:45going in the right direction. The spread is down to minus eight and a half. Normally people,
08:50you know, when it comes to leadership in the United States, there's going to be more
08:53pessimistic individuals. And it's really never crushed, crossed into the right direction dating
08:59all the way back. It looks like 2009 that's with Obama. That's with Trump's first term.
09:04You can see it was, it was a little bit closer in 2019 when we had a really good economy.
09:09But here, I mean, this is, this is almost a high dating all the way back to 2021. And that was
09:14right when Biden had gotten in. And so it's almost right back to that. And so my guess is
09:21this will probably stagnate around in terms of the direction of the country, probably around minus
09:26eight to minus 10. It might go down a little bit again, just because of where the economy is at.
09:30And that's what people base this off of a lot, but just like Trump's job approval,
09:34we've talked about that. And, you know, initially Trump did have a favorable approval.
09:39I really wouldn't say it was a honeymoon. It's not like Trump had this plus 10 approval. Remember
09:43Biden had like plus 12 or something. I mean, it was historic how bad Biden became. If you go to,
09:49if you go to his overall stuff here. Yeah. Like, like he had a plus, they gave him a plus 17
09:57buffer honeymoon period and Afghanistan destroyed him. And, and, and within like a year, it was plus
10:0415 to minus 19 for Biden. See, Trump doesn't really get that. He didn't get it his first
10:08term. He's not getting it now, but like the whole idea of, oh, now Trump has a negative
10:12approval rating. It's largely irrelevant. This is a tumultuous, tumultuous time in terms of the
10:17economy. There's a bunch of tariffs. There might be more tariffs in early April. This is a four
10:21year period for Trump. It's the first inning right now. It's not a big deal. You have to do certain
10:28things early in your administration as maybe a sacrifice to what's going on right now that maybe
10:34it looks like, well, the economy's not doing great. When you look at the overall S and P,
10:39when you look at the stock since Trump entered, well, yes, he's, he's, he's enacted tariffs. He's
10:44done certain things, the countries, the trade wars, it's not going to look positive, but it
10:48will pay off in the long run. And even within the next two or three years, and we're going to have
10:52the golden period when you have the low interest rates, you have the low inflation and you have
10:58the tax cuts. It's an amazing combination. It's Trump's 2019 plan. That's exactly what we had.
11:03And listen, people like, well, it's a recession, all this. Sometimes this is what's needed to get
11:08this stuff down so you can kickstart it, right? You might need that to get those interest rates
11:13down, hopefully to under 2%, because remember the refinancing in 2026, we've got to refinance
11:20$6 trillion in debt because of the 2021 overspending on the stimulus checks and other
11:28bills. And so when you're refinancing $6 trillion, you would like to do it at a one and a half
11:32interest rate, not a 4% interest rate, which is what it is now. That's a lot of this. So Trump
11:37is like, I'm not saying he's doing it on purpose, but you can, as a by-product, bring down inflation
11:45by using tariffs. People say, well, tariffs cause inflation. Well, no, tariffs cause
11:50uncertainty in the market. If the stock market is down, it's going to also decrease
11:53likely inflation. And that's what's happened. So like all of this, I mean, his approval was
12:00basically 50-50. I would like to see his issues here. And we're going to have to go one by one,
12:05I guess. Trump economy, minus seven. Yeah, it doesn't really surprise me. Foreign policy,
12:11where to target? See, this is what doesn't make any sense, the inflation. They haven't,
12:15yeah, see, the people haven't seen the recent numbers. That's the thing is that the last poll
12:18was on the 11th. The recent numbers on inflation are amazing for Trump. He should be plus 15 on
12:24inflation. They were better than expected. Israel, Hamas. Uh-huh. And then direction of country.
12:32So yeah, I mean, I'd say these are fine numbers for Trump, but just the overall bottom line is
12:37the Democrats, 27% approval rating. This is their lowest since 1990. They're in a really bad spot.
12:43It's not too surprising. They have a very low approval rating because of how badly they lost
12:46the election. But, and also the fact that they really have no leadership right now.
12:51You've got Chuck Schumer jousting with AOC, AOC trying to primary him. Chuck Schumer caving
12:58in to the Trump CR and some of the Democrats were not too happy. They wanted the government
13:04shut down and it didn't happen. So that's where we're at with the Democrats. They're going to try
13:09and dig out of this. They need some type of leadership. Right now, when I look at their
13:13party, I really don't see anyone. It's going to have to be somebody that we're really not talking
13:16about right now because all these other ones are just, I mean, these, they just have nothing.
13:22You look at, now they're talking about Tim Walz. I mean, it's just such a waste of money. Like,
13:27imagine Kamala. I don't think, I don't think Kamala is going to want run, but the more polls
13:32she keeps leading in, who knows? But she'll probably do the 2026 governorship in California,
13:38probably win that because California can't help themselves. Just like the city of Chicago.
13:42They keep voting for these very liberal people. It gets worse and worse and worse and worse and
13:45worse. And they keep voting for the same thing. But actually let's look at this favorability of
13:51US political leaders. We'll take a look at this. Trump is sitting minus three. Those are good
13:55numbers for Trump. Those are good numbers for Trump. Minus three, very polarizing, very
14:00polarizing. So when you're minus three, you'll take that. JD Vance sitting minus three, basically
14:04the exact same thing. Mike Johnson, minus five. Mike Johnson, he just has to be a lapdog for
14:09Trump. Hakeem Jeffries, tie. A lot of people don't even know who Hakeem Jeffries is. He's
14:14kind of irrelevant. John Thune, minus four and a half. Schumer, minus 20 or minus 19.
14:20Yeah. A lot of Democrats don't like Schumer at this point, but either way, that's just an update.
14:26Guys, that's going to do it for this video. Make sure you follow me on Axe. Link to that's always
14:28in the description.
