Democrats are in big trouble according to CNN’s top numbers expert. Harry Enten says the party’s like a messier version of a hoarder’s basement, with record-low public ratings. Polls show Democrats’ popularity sinking underwater by 26 to 30 points. American voters view them as “total and complete garbage,” Enten warned.
No one wants to lead this sinking ship. Front-runner Kamala Harris left the door open for a 2028 presidential run but isn’t even running for governor. The party’s brand is so toxic that candidates might wait until later to dive in. “At this point, there’s no frontrunner,” Enten admitted.
The problem starts at home. Even Democratic voters are overwhelmingly unhappy. They want change but can’t agree on what kind. “The base wants something different,” Enten said, “but nobody knows who’ll get the rose.” This chaos leaves the party stuck in confusion.
Young Democrats don’t feel proud anymore. Just 24% of Gen Z party members say they’re “extremely or very proud” to be American. Ten years ago, 80% of Democrats felt that way. This sharp drop shows left-wing policies have alienated young voters. Patriots should ask: Why cheer for America when your team attacks it?
Enten blames radical ideas flooding the Democratic Party. Painful policies promoting division over unity have backfired. Right-wing pride surged to 92% because conservatives value our country’s greatness. The left’s obsession with identity politics rejects flags, freedom, and God. Hardworking Americans won’t reward that.
The 2026 midterms could be another disaster. Enten warns Democrats face a brutal election unless they change fast. But they’re too busy fighting among themselves. “We’ll see who they pick,” he said, but predictions are dire. Borrowing a phrase from Trump supporters: “Same policies, different face—still a loss.”
Potential leaders like Harris or Joe Biden’s allies aren’t solving the problem. They cling to failed policies while voters reject them. Choosing a fresh face won’t help if the blueprint remains the same. Enten called it “historically divided,” and that won’t fix itself.
In the end, the Democrats’ downward spiral mirrors their rejection of American values. They’ll keep pushing radical agendas, thinking voters forgot their failures. Patriots must stay united, holding the line for freedom, faith, and family. As Enten proved, the left’s lost its way—and the door’s still wide open for conservatives to win big.
