What Democrats Actually Think of Their Party

Democrats are on track to make gains in the November midterm elections, but they’re benefiting from President Trump’s unpopularity—not their own party’s image. In fact, Democrats have received some of their lowest approval ratings ever since Trump took office last year. Democratic voters are divided over what they believe their party should stand for and who is best equipped to beat Republicans. The party’s far-left flank has been ascendent with members of the Democratic Socialists of America and other progressives toppling longtime incumbents in some party primaries. For the first time ever, several highly competitive Senate and House seats will have far-left candidates as the Democratic nominees—a test of progressive power in competitive races. We asked a group of Democratic voters from across the country to join us to talk about the party at this moment. Watch the video to learn more. #Politics #Democrats #WSJ
