We've been reporting just how bad the Democrats' approval/favorability numbers have been.
There was the Quinnipiac poll that had Congressional Democrats at 19 percent approval, the lowest in the history of asking the question. Then there was the Wall Street Journal survey that showed the party was 30 points underwater with registered voters - far worse than the Republicans.

CNN's data analyst Harry Enten summed up how bad things were for the Democrats. He explained that the CNN poll had the Democrats at 26 points underwater, and he also referenced the WSJ poll. Both numbers were the lowest ever.

“The Democrat party is breaking records in a way you don’t want to break records,” says CNN’s Harry Enten pic.twitter.com/cS3aPKhnKM
“The Democrat party is breaking records in a way you don’t want to break records,” Enten proclaimed.
Enten also had more polling that showed how people didn't think Democrats could "hack it" on foreign policy. He said that "despite everything that's going on in the world right now," Republicans are more trusted than Democrats on foreign policy, by six points or more, depending on the poll.

I don't think the Democrats have much of a foreign policy besides being weak and giving away our money. People trust the GOP more, not "despite everything that's going on," but because of everything that's going on. It's because President Donald Trump has an engaged, proactive foreign policy that puts our interests first. "Democrats simply can't hack it," Enten said.
Iran was a perfect example of this, and how the polling changed once people saw that Trump's move was a success, despite what the media/Democrats were saying. Enten explained how the polling of the strikes on their nuclear sites evolved. He noted how in late June the take was -8, with the media pitching doom. Then, when no doom came, and it was clear that Trump had successfully incapacitated the sites despite what some in media were saying, the number went up 10 points into the positive.
As former Democratic operative and "Morning Meeting" co-host Dan Turrentine explained, "We have no agenda whatsoever. If we were to get power, I couldn't tell you what we'd want to do." Meanwhile, Trump is making us safer with the Iran strike, working on ceasefires and peace deals, getting our people back when they've been held overseas, and indeed, pulling off amazing trade deals, which is also incredibly important foreign policy.
