Nearly a year after the election of a president who promised Americans would win so much they would grow "tired of winning," a funny thing has happened in American politics — both sides think they're losing.

That lose-lose mood, which is on display daily on Capitol Hill, is strongly reinforced by a study of public opinion released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. More than 6 in 10 Americans say they believe their side is losing more than it's winning on the issues that matter most; only about 1 in 4 think their side is mostly winning.

That attitude might not be surprising from Democrats, who, with the election, lost control of all three branches of the federal government. More strikingly, Republicans, too, think they're getting the short end of the stick.....

...the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.

Oh yeah, I remember them! They were spot on when it came to Hillary winning the Presidency back in 2016!

Well, actually... They weren’t.

We're winning. They're losing.

That's how I see it too. David Lauter needs to get out of Washington more often...

There's a reason for that: the better framing is not Democrat vs. Republican but rather Politically Elite vs. Common American.
We've seen with our own eyes how the Republican Party has no intention of doing it's oppositional promises like repeal obamacare, reform taxes, or even basic fiscal responsibility.

I agree with your comment. But I primarily meant that the normal people in the Republican Party are winning.
