CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten revealed on Friday that Democrats continue to disapprove of their own congressional leaders.
A CNN/SSRS poll found that 57 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters disapprove of their party’s congressional leadership as of January, which is down from the record-high of 61 percent in April 2025, Enten said on “CNN News Central.”
Voters do not seem satisfied with the Democrats’ performance in Congress or their ability to fight back against President Donald Trump.
“Take a look at how Democrats who disapprove of congressional Democratic leaders,” Enten said. “We’re talking about 57 percent in January of 2026. The second highest disapproval rate for Democratic leaders from their own party on record. It’s only beat by what we saw earlier on in this Congress when it was 61 percent. There’s basically been no improvement. Democrats hate their own congressional leaders. These numbers are awful, awful, awful.”
Maybe there’s hope for some of them yet
