The percentage of Americans who believe the Democratic Party is “out of touch” has increased by double-digits over the last decade, with 70% indicating the party is disconnected from the issues that matter to voters.
The Democratic Party is perceived as being overly-focused on “Protecting the rights of undocumented immigrants” and “Protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans” – alienating voters who care more about secure borders and crime reduction, a survey released Monday by Welcome, a center-left group, found.
“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 noted.
In 2013, 51% of voters viewed the Democratic Party as “out of touch,” but the number surged to 70% in 2025, the pollster found.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party improved – going from 70% viewing it as “out of touch” in 2013, to 65% in 2025.
Welcome also highlighted polling showing only 39% of voters say the Democratic Party has the right priorities, while 59% of voters say Democrats do not.

That report and its recommendations are just silly. Everybody knows all the Ds have to do is improve their message.

And another 25% of Americans believe the democrat party is an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Yeah they just need to make some adjustments to their framing language.
Put more of their policy positions into the mouth of Jesus. That always convinces a lot of Christians. I’m being sarcastic, I hope is obvious.

Yes, and this is also still true of the Dems....

Shakespeare was remarkable, astonishing. He was to the English language, and to the human condition, what Einstein was to physics.

Well, it’s going in the right direction, but still not enough people feel that way.

“What’s wrong with the other 30%?”
I have long believed that about 30% of Americans belong to the idiotic democrat die hard lot. This further supports my belief.

And yet with all that the Ds have done, and continue to do to average Americans, most of that 70% will still vote a straight Dem ticket in the voting booth, or just stay home.

Out of touch? Not hardly! It’s easy to conclude that the DC democrats and RINOS are working in unison with the deep state cabal and foreign powers to disrupt the Trump presidency by any and all means necessary, to include another world war. The deep state criminals are working it so they will also escape justice by dismantling the systematic operations of the country. This isn’t just a government shutdown, it’s also another coop against President Trump. Sorry for all of the negativity but I surmise that all of American society will continue to spiral out of control until President Trump is forced to declare Martial Law. At that point, there is likely going to be a social collapse and life in this US is going to get much worse. What we’re seeing is only the beginning. Okay, flame away.

Registered DEMs. The rest, GOP plus INDs, have more common sense (you would never know it from the "news" shows).
