Mark Penn: Democrats at Record Low, Trump Surges in New Polls

Pollster and political strategist Mark Penn revealed stunning new data showing a sharp decline in the Democratic Party’s favorability, with President Joe Biden’s approval rating sinking to just 35 percent. During a segment on The Ingraham Angle, Penn explained that the numbers are at record lows, and there appears to be no leadership capable of reversing the trend.

According to Penn, a retrospective evaluation of Biden’s presidency is driving this shift. Voters are reconsidering his performance on key issues such as immigration, economic policy, and social concerns. The comparison with former President Donald Trump is proving decisive, as Trump now leads Biden 57 percent to 35 percent in job approval. Penn emphasized that this is not just a temporary slump but a fundamental reassessment of the Democratic Party’s direction.

He described the situation as unprecedented, noting that favorability ratings for the party have fallen further than ever before. “I have never seen anything like this,” he said, highlighting that discontent among voters is deeper now than it was on Election Day. With immigration policies under scrutiny, economic concerns mounting, and growing resistance to left-wing social policies, Penn believes the Democratic Party faces a serious crisis.

Adding to the challenge is what he sees as a lack of leadership. Penn stated that there is no clear figure within the party capable of regaining public trust or shifting momentum. As Democrats struggle to connect with voters, Trump’s policies and leadership style are benefiting from a stark contrast.

With polling numbers continuing to decline for Biden and his party, Penn’s analysis raises critical questions about whether Democrats can turn things around before 2024. If the current trends hold, the political landscape may be shifting in ways that few anticipated just months ago.
