Democrats Hit With Double-Dose of Bad News About Male Voters

WASHINGTON / May 27, 2026 – Last week was a spectacularly bad one for members of the Democratic party.

First, the Quinnipiac poll revealed on Wednesday that Congressional Democrats are garnering only a 16% job approval from American men (1).

Overall, the poll found that only 20% of registered voters approve of the way Democrats are handling their job in Congress. The male respondents likely were responding to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who has become famous for making laughable claims such as her recent gaffe that Venezuela lies “below the equator.”

Many of AOC’s inflammatory remarks have targeted men (2):

“Misogyny transcends political ideology: left, right, center. This grip of patriarchy affects all of us, not just women.”
“Men suffer from being under patriarchy. They don’t go to the doctor. They suffer from much higher rates of completed suicides.”
“‘Boys will be boys.’ Is that also the reason why you’ve chosen to block the Violence Against Women Act too, Mitch McConnell?”

The second dose of bad news arrived the very next day. The Democratic National Committee released the autopsy of its failed 2024 presidential campaign (3), in which Donald Trump won a majority of all votes cast and handily carried all seven swing states.

The 192-page DNC document – replete with typos, missing footnotes, and non-sequiturs — admitted that the “national campaign had a specific problem with male voters….Harris saw dramatic drops in support among young Latino men and young Black men compared to Biden’s 2020 performance.” (4)

The document concluded that male voters “require direct engagement. The gender gap can be narrowed. Deploy male messengers, address economic concerns, and don’t assume identity politics will hold male voters of color.”

Inexplicably, the DNC report made no mention of the hot-button issues that are likely to engage male voters, such as inflation, gas prices, or religion. In fact, the entire report refused to even mention the words, “white men.”

Recent data show men hold stronger pro-family values than women. Compared to women, men are more likely to view marriage positively (38% vs. 22%), aspire to parenthood (57% vs. 45%), and prefer larger families (48% vs. 37%). Men also exhibit lower rates of marital infidelity and divorce initiation. (5)

If Democrats seriously aspire to reconnect with male voters, above all they need to reconsider their long-standing embrace of feminist ideology.

Negative views of feminism are on the upswing. Last month, Evie Magazine published an article titled, “Hating Men Isn’t Improving Your Life.” Commentator Lisa Britton declared bluntly, “Female-led misandry is mainstream, and it’s in our schools, our media, our Hollywood blockbusters, and our university lecture halls. Podcasts hosted by women casually trash men as toxic, incompetent, sexist or irredeemable…The hatred isn’t just on the fringes. It’s everywhere.” (6)

Democrats need to make major changes, or brace for yet another round of stunning losses this coming November.

SAVE – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments – is a 501(c)3 organization working to assure due process, fairness, and equal opportunities for men.
