CNN’s Data Guru Dooms the Left: Democrats’ Approval Has Never Been in ‘Worse Shape’
by David Lindfield
Democrats are heading into the midterm cycle with some of the weakest public approval ratings ever recorded for the party, according to new analysis from CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten.
The assessment marks one of the most significant warning signs yet for a party already grappling with mounting political and legal crises among its leadership.
Enten reported that the Democratic Party’s standing with voters has deteriorated sharply, describing its position as “lower than the Dead Sea.”
His remarks reference new Quinnipiac University polling that shows congressional Democrats at their worst approval levels in the survey’s history.
The numbers reflect a steep slide from earlier in the fall.
“In October, the Democrats were at plus 22, but now they are at minus 6,” Enten said, citing a 28-point drop.
He noted that the shift was driven not only by independents but also by discontent inside the Democratic Party itself.
