The Democrat dumpster fire rages on…
A new survey released Monday by Welcome, a center-left group, found that 70% of Americans now say Democrats are “out of touch” with the issues that matter most — a stunning double-digit jump from a decade ago.
The party is increasingly viewed as obsessed with “Protecting the rights of undocumented immigrants” and “Protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans” — while alienating voters who care more about border security and fighting crime.
“To win elections, Democrats need to make the following changes. First, we need to focus more on the issues voters do not think we prioritize enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focus less on the issues voters think we prioritize too highly (climate change, democracy, abortion, and identity and cultural issues),” read the conclusion of Welcome’s “Deciding to Win” survey.
“Second, we need to moderate our positions on issues where our agenda is unpopular, including immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues,” the group added.
In 2013, just 51% of voters saw Democrats as “out of touch.” By 2025, that number exploded to 70%.
Meanwhile, the GOP actually gained ground — dropping from 70% “out of touch” in 2013 to 65% in 2025.
Welcome’s poll also found that only 39% of voters think Democrats have the right priorities, while 59% say they don’t.
