Both political parties have a significant job to do to convince Americans that they are fighting for them, according to the new NBC News Stay Tuned Powered by Surveymonkey survey, with Democrats fighting for their own followers base.
The survey finds an adult plurality (38%) say that none of the political parties fight for people like them, while 24% say that the Republican party fights for them, 23% say the same of the Democratic Party, and 15% say both parties. The survey has a margin of error of more or less 2.2 percentage points.
The pessimism about the main matches occurs after a 2024 election that saw an aspiring third, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., reached the two digits in some national surveys before fading and finally supporting Donald Trump. And some great next elections will have notable independent contestants, including the governor’s career in Michigan, where Detroit mayor Mike Duggan is postulated as an independent.
The survey also finds some anguish among the most liberal supporters of the Democratic Party. Among those who say they are considered progressive first (instead of being considered first the Democrats), 38% agree that none of the parties fight for them, while half say they think that their party fights for people like them.
On the contrary, among adults who say they align more with the Make America Great Again movement than the Republican Party itself, only 23% say that none of the parties fight for them, compared to 67% who says that the Republican Party fights for them.
The negative feelings about the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are largely driven by younger Americans, with 45% of adults from 30 to 44 years and 41% of adults from 18 to 29 years saying that none of the parties fight for them, slightly higher actions than older adults surveyed.
A considerable majority of those who voted for a third -party candidate in 2024 (69%) and a great plurality of those who did not vote (47%) did not choose any of the parties when asked which fight for people like them.
Months after a presidential election that would be supposed to present to the two oldest nominees in the history of the United States (before the then President Joe Biden ended his offer), an overwhelming majority of adults (77%) also agreed with the statement that “nothing will change in this country until we choose a new generation of leaders in Washington.”
The desire for a new generation of leaders is consistent among age groups, with more than 75% of adults in each generation according to the statement.
That opinion is more frequent among Democrats, with 89% according to that statement, compared to 65% of Republicans. Both features of the Democratic party also agree, with 90% of the progressives who say that Washington needs a new generation of leaders, and 89% of those who align more with the Democratic Party that remain the same.
The impulse between these progressive Democrats is to feed some new main challenges against Democratic headlines of a lifetime.
Below at both parties
All coloring the faint vision that Americans have of the two political parties of their nation. But while the majorities have unfavorable views of both parties, the Democrats are in worse condition with their own base.
In general, both parties are similarly seen among American adults: 40% sees the Democratic party favorably, while 60% sees it unfavorably, while the Republican party is favorably seen in 44% and unfavorably 55%.
While the Republican party has slightly better grades in general, the bad news for Republicans is that political independents are really lower in the party than the Democrats. (30% of independents see the Republican Party favorably, and 36% sees the Democratic Party favorably).
But for the Democrats, their problems come in part of themes within their coalition, such as 22% of the Democrats see their party unfavorably, compared to 13% of the Republicans who feel that way for the Republican Party.
Those who identify with the progressive movement are much more likely to see their party unfavorably, since 30% of these progressives share that negative vision of the Democratic Party. In comparison, only 10% of the supporters of the Maga Movement see the Republican party unfavorably.
The survey continues to underline the gender gap that shapes this moment in American politics: 45% of women see the Democratic party favorably, compared to 35% of men, while 49% of men see the Republican party favorably, compared to 40% of women.
And that gap is more pronounced among younger voters between the ages of 18 and 29. Only 27% of these women see the Republican party favorably, but 44% of these men do it. On the other hand, 38% of young men see the Democratic party favorably, compared to 54% of young women.
Flow party loyalty
The survey also sheds new light on the composition of both parties and the degree of loyalty that members feel (or do not feel) towards them as institutions.
Of the republicans surveyed, a majority (56%) say that they are considered more supporters of the Maga Movement, while 44% say they are more supporters of the Republican Party.
These self -described magic republicans are more likely to be white, men and those without university degrees.
But even when President Donald Trump obtained profits among young men in November, a greater proportion of men between 18 and 29 years are aligned with the Republican Party than the Maga Movement. The same is true for all Republicans under 30 years.
An identical majority of the Democrats (56%) says that they align more with progressive causes and the progressive movement, while 44% say they align more with the Democratic Party.
Younger women and women with university education are more likely to say that they support progressive movement, as are white democrats. Among the black Democrats, approximately double identify first than the supporters of the Democratic Party, instead of supporters of the progressive movement first.
