As of Nov. 3, President Donald Trump has the <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/03/trump-approval-rating-poll-cnn/87062858007/">lowest approval rating</a> of his second term at 37%.
This is usually a good sign for the party out of power, but disapproval in Trump isn't the whole picture. The Democratic Party is having a hard time translating criticism into support.
Through July, Republicans have gained 9 times as many new registered voters than Democrats since the November 2024 election.
This week on <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2024/10/22/the-gaggle-at-azcentral-com-a-podcast-about-arizona-politics/75784742007/">The Gaggle</a>, we're joined by Democratic strategist and CNN commentator, Maria Cardona, to look at how her party is faring one year before the midterm elections.
