Berman characterized the damning responses as “Democrat-on-Democrat crime,” then asked about American support for the Democrat leadership.
“The bottom has fallen out,” said Enten.
“Even Democrats don’t like their own leaders when it comes to Congress. And overall, of course, the numbers are just absolutely awful.”
Enten cast doubt on whether Schumer will be able to remain the Senate leader for the Democrats, suggesting that it’s a “coin toss when it comes to Schumer actually winning the next Dem Senate leader selection.”
An Economist/YouGov poll published this week found that a plurality of Democratic voters — 41% — disapprove of the job Schumer is doing as minority leader of the U.S. Senate, and 37% signaled approval. Schumer’s overall approval rating was 20%.
David Axelrod, who served as a political strategist for former President Barack Obama, recently told PBS that Schumer “has been under fire for some time, particularly from progressives in the party,” and that his political fate may be linked to the midterm elections.
“There’s questions as to whether he’ll run in 2028. There’s even questions as to whether he might be challenged as leader,” said Axelrod. “I think the results of this election may impact that.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), whose overall approval rating was 24%, fared slightly better with Democrats than Schumer, with 43% signaling approval and 32% signaling disapproval of his job performance.
