Harry Enten found that while the numbers are rough for President Donald Trump, the polling for Dem leaders isn’t so hot either.and found that they’re incredibly unpopular—particularly Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“Take a look at how Democrats disapprove of congressional democratic leaders,” said Enten. “Hello! We‘re talking about 57 percent in January of 2026, the second-highest disapproval rate for democratic leaders from their own party on record!”The highest disapproval rate on record is 61 percent, recorded in April 2025, Enten revealed. “There‘s basically been no improvement,” he said. “Democrats hate their own congressional leaders. These numbers are awful, awful, awful.”‘s John Berman described the bleak numbers as “Democrat on Democrat” crime before asking Enten about the cause for the unrest.“Why is there a Democrat on Democrat crime?” asked Enten. “It just simply comes down to this: They don‘t think their leaders are fighting enough. Dems who say congressional Dems are doing too little to oppose Donald Trump: In February of 2025, it was 73 percent. Now that number is up to 78 percent.” “Democrats want fighters in Congress, and at this point, they do not believe that the Democrats in Congress are fighting enough to oppose President Trump‘s agenda,” Enten concluded. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries polls well with Democrats despite Dem voters' overall dissatisfaction with their party.Enten then revealed the culprit behind Democrats’ distaste for their leaders. “Who are they taking their anger out on? It‘s not Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House. It‘s the Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer.” Enten compared the two leaders’ favorability ratings among Democrats from the start of Trump’s second term to January 2026. Jeffries got a seven-point bump from +22 favorability to +29. Schumer’s number dropped from +11 to -2. “I went back and I looked at every single democratic Senate leader,” said Enten. “I looked at all the polling I could. polls the lowest for any democratic Senate leader among Democrats dating back the last 40 years.”Schumer, 75, has served as the leader of Senate Democrats since 2017. However, he’s been slammed by Democrats on numerous issues throughout the first year of Trump’s second term.after Democratic senators broke the Dems’ filibuster in a spending bill stalemate that caused the longest shutdown in U.S. history. At the time, Schumer’s popularity among DemocratsThe controversies may catch up to Schumer when his position as Democratic Senate leader is up for re-election following the 2026 midterms. Enten revealed that on the betting platform Kalshi, only 56 percent of bettors believe that Schumer will retain his Senate leadership position after 2026.
