Americans are gaining a more favorable view of the Republican Party since the reelection of President-elect Donald Trump.
A new poll from The Economist/YouGov found that Americans’ approval of the GOP has increased six points since October.
The pollsters found that 45 percent of Americans now have a “favorable” toward the Republican Party, up from 39 percent last month.
Meanwhile, the Democrat Party’s favorability is in decline, with 39 percent saying they find the party “favorable,” compared to 44 percent in October.
The Hill reports:
Also in late October, 50 percent of Americans said they felt “unfavorable” toward the Democrats versus 53 percent in late November.
President-elect Trump’s election victory and impending return to the White House has rattled Democrats, who also lost both the House and Senate to their Republican counterparts.
There have been ongoing conversations in the party about what led to Democrats’ struggles at the polls this year, with some centrists saying the party went too left and liberals saying it didn’t go left enough.
A recent SAY24 and YouGov poll found that despite a debate among Democrats over whether Vice President Harris was the right choice to face off against Trump, she received more votes for president than some other Democratic alternatives to President Biden would have received.
The poll was conducted from November 23-26 of 1,590 people. The pollsters report a 3.2 percentage point margin of error.
