The president currently boasts an approval rating of 54% in a poll surveying 1,321 people against a margin of error of 2.98%, according to polling data from earlier this month. Separate polling data found that most respondents are in support of several of Trump’s executive orders, including 63% who favor the government recognizing only two genders, male and female, and 60% who support deporting illegal immigrants.

DEMOCRATS ARE LEARNING: IT’S NOT 2017 ALL OVER AGAIN

Crockett, however, dismissed these polling numbers showing favorability to Trump, saying her takeaway from them is the same as the 2024 election.

“We’ve got to do better at education,” Crockett said on ABC News’s The View. “People don’t understand. but you will understand when those hospitals in rural America start closing down even more. You will understand when you don’t have your Social Security. You will understand when your Medicaid, your Medicare goes away. You will understand as planes continue to fall out of the sky.”

Crockett’s dismissal mirrored the response House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) gave Sunday to Trump’s approval ratings, suggesting that the United States is “just at the beginning” of his second presidential term. 

The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin also asked Crockett how the Democratic Party can regain its “mojo” going forward, to which the lawmaker asserted that the party is undergoing “a bit of whiplash” after the election. 

The Democratic Party’s future has been a growing talking point for the party’s lawmakers in the wake of Trump’s inauguration. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) suggested Democrats need to find a way for the party to no longer present itself as “the party of the status quo,” arguing voters were “right to be upset” at the state of the federal government in which the Department of Government Efficiency has sought to find and eliminate waste.

Last week, Trump argued that Democratic lawmakers “lost their confidence” after the 2024 election cycle, in which the party lost both the White House and control of the Senate while failing to retake control of the House. He also contended, in comparison, that he now has “much greater support than I ever had” in his previous political ventures.
