Every week, I track the Economist/YouGov poll which asks a lot of great questions, including how much people approve or disapprove of the Republican and Democratic Parties. Here is how approval of the two major parties has changed since right before the 2020 Election.
Both parties have a lower disapproval today than they had right before last November's election. But the Republicans have lost more ground than the Democrats have.
Dems have an edge with every group listed here with the exception of white men and white women without degrees.
White men without degrees dislike the Democrats as much as they did last November. But, for the moment, they don't like them worse than they did back then. This group has, however, soured a bit on the @GOP although they still favor it.
The one group in which the GOP has gained a bit of ground is, surprisingly to me, with black voters. I've checked around the family and the barber shop and I haven't found these particular voters but the polls say they do exist. But the GOP still loses this group by 49 points.
And the Democrats have lost a lot of ground with latino voters. Not sure exactly why. But this erosion should scare Democrats into trying to figure out why this is happening (one hint: stop calling them "LatinX!").
You can look at the two surveys mentioned, from November and from now and compare how things have changed on a bunch of subjects from these links:
