A new poll from The Economist/YouGov shows that Americans’ views of the Republican Party are on the rise.
In this poll, 45% of Americans responded that they had a ‘favorable view’ of the Republican Party. This is a six-point increase from the Economist/YouGov poll in late October, where 39% said they had a favorable view of the Republican Party.
The number of Americans who say they have an “unfavorable view” of the Republican Party has also declined since late October, falling from 53% to 47% in the latest Economist/YouGov poll.
On the other hand, in this poll, Americans’ feelings toward the Democratic Party were worse than the previous month. At the end of November, 39% said they felt “favorable” toward the Democratic Party, compared to 44% the month before.
Additionally, at the end of October, 50% of Americans said they felt “unfavorable” toward the Democratic Party, while at the end of November, 53% said the same.
President-elect Trump’s election victory and imminent return to the White House shook the Democratic Party, which also lost the House and Senate to the Republicans.
Conversations continued within the party about what caused their struggles at the polls this year. Some centrists said the party had gone too far to the left, while liberals said it had not gone far enough.
Despite debate among Democrats over whether Vice President Harris is the right person to take on Trump, she received more votes than any other Democratic candidate to replace President Biden, according to a recent SAY24 and YouGov poll.
The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted from November 23 to 26, had 1,590 participants and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
