Bruising Appears On Trump’s Hand Ahead Of Pittsburgh Visit

This comes as a new national poll shows that most Democrats are dissatisfied with how their party’s lawmakers are performing in Congress

Among all voters, 32% approved of the job performance of congressional Republicans, while just over 60% expressed disapproval.

The Democratic Party has been in a state of political disarray since the November elections, when Republicans regained control of the White House and the Senate while holding on to their narrow majority in the House. Adding to the setback, Republicans made inroads with key Democratic constituencies, including black, Hispanic, and younger voters.

Since President Donald Trump’s return to office earlier this year, an increasingly energized Democratic base has been pressuring party leaders to take a more forceful stance against the president’s sweeping and controversial agenda during the early months of his second term. Frustration is not only aimed at Republicans, but also at fellow Democrats who are seen as too passive in their opposition.
