NEWSWEEK: QUINNIPIAC POLL--DISAPPROVAL OF DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS TICKS UPWARD--NEW POLL, JUNE 5-9

Voters' disapproval of Democratic members in Congress has increased since February, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

Newsweek reached out to the Senate and House Minority leaders, as well as the Democratic National Committee, via email on Wednesday for comment.

The scale of the Republican Party's triumph in November—taking the White House, flipping the Senate, and maintaining control of the House—has sparked soul-searching within the Democratic Party over what went wrong and how to rebuild.
