WATCH: Tim Kaine Is Asked Why Democrats Are So Unpopular

Last Updated 2 weeks by Amnon J. Jobi | Amnon Front Page

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) was asked over the weekend why the Democrat Party has become so deeply unpopular among voters.

Kaine was asked the question during a Sunday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” after new polling from last week showed that Democrats are more unpopular now than they have ever been.

“You see there this is Quinnipiac poll; 57 percent of the American people have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party, only 31 percent favorable,” Tapper said. “This is the worst number for the Democratic Party since Quinnipiac University began asking the question. And it’s not an outlier. A recent CNN poll found a 33-year low favorable rating with the Democratic Party.”

“Why is your party so staggeringly unpopular with the public?” he asked.

Kaine claimed he did not know what happens in the other 49 states, just Virginia.

“We focus on the economy,” he said. “This is what we do in Virginia. And I think, sometimes, national Democrats don’t.”

“It’s just that so often, Democratic candidates don’t emphasize that,” he later added.

“And so, yes, the American public looks at standard campaigns,” he continued. “They don’t see Democrats advertising on the economy, which is their principal concern, and so they have wonders about us. Let’s return to the bread-and-butter basics that people want to really focus on.”
