CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten said live on air that Democratic approval of their own party in Congress has collapsed, marking a dramatic warning sign for the party ahead of the next election cycle.
According to the numbers presented, Democratic voters gave their party in Congress a net approval rating of +22 in October 2025. That figure has now fallen to -9 — a 31-point drop. The decline shows that frustration is no longer coming only from Republicans or independents, but from inside the Democratic base itself.
Even more striking, nearly half of Democrats now reportedly want the party to move toward the center. That is a direct rejection of the radical left-wing agenda that has dominated much of the party’s messaging on crime, immigration, Israel, identity politics and the economy.
The radical left took the wheel and drove the Democratic Party into a political ditch. Now, even many Democratic voters appear to understand that the party has moved too far from the concerns of ordinary Americans.
