U.S. Democrats Face Sharp Male Voter Disapproval After 2024 Election

A Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters shows that 71% of men disapprove of the Democratic Party, while only 20% approve. The same poll found that 55% of male respondents believe the party has moved too far to the left. The party’s poor performance among men contributed to its loss of the White House and Senate in the 2024 elections, despite spending tens of millions of dollars on outreach aimed at male voters, especially young men who shifted rightward between 2020 and 2024.

Analysts cite the poll as evidence that the Democrats’ attempts to attract male voters, including high‑profile campaign strategies, have not succeeded, leaving the party with a significant challenge ahead of the 2026 midterms.
