CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten painted a dismal picture for Democrats — in particular for Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill — suggesting during a Thursday appearance that the bottom has effectively dropped out for the minority party.

Enten joined anchor John Berman on “CNN News Central,” where he highlighted a dramatic drop-off in the overall approval ratings of top Democrats — especially when it came to their handling of the economy in the months since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

🚨NEW: CNN's Harry Enten says he thinks there's "REVOLT" occurring within Dem Party🚨

“This, I think, is a revolt, a revolt that is going on within the Democratic Party right now, Democrats and their leaders,” Enten said, noting that the poor poll numbers were reflective of Democratic voters not having any confidence in the leadership of their own party.

“I mean, take a look nationally. Democrats on Dem leaders in Congress — the belief that they will do the right thing when it comes to the economy — last year at this time, 80% believed that the Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when it comes to the economy,” Enten said reiterating again the fact that these numbers were reflective of what Democrats thought of their own party’s leadership.

“Look at where we are now. That number has been slashed in half — to just 39%. Holy Toledo,” Enten exclaimed. “That is the lowest number by far in Gallup polling. The lowest previous was just 60%, which is 21 points higher than this.”

“Democrats hate, hate, hate, hate what their congressional leaders in Washington are doing right now on the key issue of the day, the economy. And their confidence has fallen through the floor,” he concluded.

Enten also pointed to recent polling that could spell disaster for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, noting that the longtime party leader was struggling to keep the approval of even half of Democrats in his home state. Schumer recently broke with his House counterpart — Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) — on a bipartisan spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, prompting backlash from within the party.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is also in disarray since newly-elected Vice Chair David Hogg announced his plan to use Leaders We Deserve — an organization he founded — to funnel $20 million into primary challenges for “out of touch” Democrats. Jeffries pushed back during a Sunday interview, saying he planned to support every incumbent Democrat, and longtime Democratic strategist James Carville suggested that the DNC could sue Hogg for working against the party’s interests.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) may have seen the writing on the wall — he announced on Wednesday that he did not plan to seek reelection.

On Thursday, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin said he gave Vice Chairman David Hogg an ultimatum in regard to challenges against incumbents in their party.

Hogg recently committed a reported $20 million through his group, Leaders We Deserve, to help candidates unseat “ineffective” House Democrats in safe blue districts after President Donald Trump and Republicans won control of the White House and Congress in the 2024 election. The move has unnerved some members of his party, including veteran Democrat strategist James Carville, even as their leaders on Capitol Hill face dismal poll numbers.

“I have great respect for David Hogg. I think he’s an amazing young leader who’s done so much already to help move our movement forward,” Martin said in a video published by Fox News.

“And while, certainly, I, you know, understand what he’s tried to do,” he added. “As I’ve said to him, ‘If you want to challenge incumbents, you’re more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can’t be both the referee and also the player at the same time. You have to make a decision.'”

Hogg, a gun control advocate who was elected to a DNC vice chair role in February, issued a combative statement after Martin made his comments.

“They’re trying to change the rules because I’m not currently breaking them,” Hogg said. “As we’re seeing law firms, tech companies, and so many others bowing to Trump, we all must use whatever position of power we have to fight back. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.”

He also said, “The role of the DNC is to set the Presidential primary calendar, set the Presidential debate schedule, to help strengthen our state parties, play a key role in building our data infrastructure for the party, and to be the campaign in waiting for whoever the next Democratic nominee is. Nothing I’m doing is at odds with any of that.”

Martin said he asked all DNC officers to sign and abide by a neutrality pledge. He noted that almost every member did.

“Let me be unequivocal: No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or challenger. … Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership,” Martin said.
