Top Dem Admits His Party Has Failed To Listen To Voters

Instead, the measure failed in the Republican controlled Senate, preserving Clyburn’s district ahead of this year’s elections

Meanwhile, polling data highlighted by CNN analyst Harry Enten last month suggests growing dissatisfaction among Democratic voters with their party’s congressional leadership, raising concerns ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Speaking on CNN, Enten pointed to a sharp decline in net approval ratings for Democratic congressional leaders among Democrats themselves.

According to the data, internal approval has fallen from positive territory in previous election cycles to negative levels, signaling a notable shift in sentiment within the party

“In 2006, Democrats’ net approval of their congressional leaders was strongly positive, and even as recently as the last midterm it remained well above zero,” Enten said.

“Now, the bottom has fallen out,” he added.
