A new CNN poll shows what most of us have already been feeling — that the Democratic Party has sunk to its lowest point in a generation.

According to the latest SSRS Research poll performed for the news network, democrats are suffering from their lowest poll rating in 25 years.

Only about one-third of Americans have a favorable view of democrats. This figure is down seven points since just March.

As if the overall favorability ratings weren’t bad enough, democrats’ unfavorable numbers tell an even more alarming story.

A majority of Americans — 54 percent — actually have a negative view of the Democratic Party. This is the highest unfavorable rating for the party since 1992 among CNN/SSRS Research, CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup polls.

Even more daunting for democrats is the fact they are losing support among their base.

Among those who rated democrats the lowest are young voters — at only 33 percent approval rating — and minorities who rated democrats at just 48 percent.

A report this week blamed the plummeting numbers on former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile’s recent bombshell revelation that Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonJeff Flake: Republicans 'should hold the same position' on SCOTUS vacancy as 2016 Momentum growing among Republicans for Supreme Court vote before Election Day Warning signs flash for Lindsey Graham in South Carolina MORE rigged the election; however, Brazile only spoke out a few days ago so that can hardly be the case. The democrats’ trouble began long before the news of Brazile’s tell-all book.

The real problem for the Democratic Party stems from its numerous, unending scandals which include Fusion GPS, Uranium One and party infighting.

Among those scandals, the recent discovery that the DNC and Hillary Clinton actually paid for the Fusion GPS “Trump dossier” after denying for a year they knew anything about it, has undoubtedly shaken Americans’ confidence.

Even The New York Times recently reported that the party’s leaders of 25 years – Bill and Hillary Clinton – likely took cash in exchange for the Obama administration’s approval of the Uranium One deal.

Between Fusion GPS and Uranium One, one can start to see how Americans don’t believe much of anything democrats have to say.

Lastly, despite their promises that they would find common ground to work with President Trump and not against him, that has also turned out to be a bluff. By and large, Sen. Chuck Schumer Chuck SchumerVideo of Lindsey Graham arguing against nominating a Supreme Court justice in an election year goes viral Graham signals support for confirming a Supreme Court nominee this year Pelosi orders Capitol flags at half-staff to honor Ginsburg MORE and Rep. Nancy Pelosi have done nothing but block and tackle the administration on virtually every piece of legislation. Even democrats tire of gridlock in Washington eventually.

Despite their continued bluster on Capitol Hill and their deflection back onto President Trump, spiraling poll numbers ought to have democrats extremely concerned.

Although democrats saw victory Tuesday night in certain blue-leaning states, the trending of these new poll numbers is so daunting it can’t be ignored.

According to the latest poll, democrats still rate more popular than republicans which doesn’t say much for “the swamp.” However there is no avoiding the cold, hard truth — with a new scandal seemingly every day, no message, and party infighting, the DNC has a lot more work to do than republicans before the 2018 midterms.
