Pray that Americans will learn to work together to solve their differences.

“But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,” (2 Tim. 2:16)

As polling shows that more Americans today think that the Democratic Party “just stands against” President Donald Trump instead of promoting its own messages and ideas, leading liberals are calling for the party to unify its base by refocusing its attention on providing a strong economic alternative.

A Washington Post poll from last week found that only 37 percent of Americans believe that the Democratic Party actually “stands for something” and 52 percent believe that the party “just stands against Trump.”

With focus now on the 2018 midterm elections, that same poll found that only 24 percent of registered voters plan to vote based on their opposition to Trump in the midterm elections. Meanwhile, 20 percent of registered voters will vote based on their support of Trump. Fifty-one percent of registered voters said that Trump will not factor into their midterm votes.

As Fox News political analyst and registered Democrat Juan Williams notes, the four-percentage-point split between those who say their midterm votes will be a show of support for or a show of opposition to Trump is “smaller than the 10-point disadvantage for President Obama going into the 2014 midterms or the 14-point disadvantage for President Bush going into the 2006 midterms.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., commented on the Washington Post poll during a Sunday interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

“When you lose an election with someone who has, say, 40 percent popularity, you look in the mirror and say what did we do wrong? And the number one thing that we did wrong is we didn’t have — we didn’t tell people what we stood for,” Schumer admitted. “Even today, as your poll showed, they know we’re standing up to Trump. They like that. But they want to know what do you stand for?”…. (By Samuel Smith for The Christian Post)

Our Lord God, nations rise and fall at your pleasure. We were birthed by your will but now we deny you. We ask that you would wake up your children here to repent of our worldliness and to be the salt and light you intended us to be. We thank you for this pause in our destruction that you have given us with this President, and we pray that you would continue to have mercy on us by giving us more Representatives and Judges with godly perspectives in ’18. Your will be done Lord, and may it be done again here in America. In Jesus name, Amen
