This stood out to me:
The poll comes also as Republicans hold a slight partisan edge over Democrats, which shows that 45% of Americans are Republican or lean-Republican, while 42% are Democrat or lean-Democratic, per Gallup.
That’s a change from previous years, including in 2022, when an equal number of Americans said they consider themself a Republican or a Democrat.
Democrats held a partisan edge over Republicans in 2020, 2018 and 2016, per the average of Gallup party affiliation polls from those years.
I’m not trying to antagonize here, but what is it about a career politician that is negative? In any other field, longer experience is considered a good thing.
From my perspective on the other side of the aisle, it seems like it’s the young, fresh politicians who are abandoning decorum and generally making as ass of themselves while the older generation (with some exceptions) are at least committed to the appearance of self control.
Wouldn’t necessarily be a negative but there shouldn’t be multimillionaire politicians
