A brutal new polling reality is going viral — and it’s coming straight from CNN’s own numbers guy.
In a clip circulating online, CNN data analyst Harry Enten cites a Quinnipiac University poll showing Democrats with a net approval rating of –55 overall and a staggering –61 among independents.
Enten didn’t sugarcoat it.
He described the numbers as “lower than the Dead Sea,” underscoring just how far Democrats have fallen with voters — the worst showing in more than two decades of Quinnipiac tracking.
The clip was quickly amplified by the Republican National Committee’s research account, which blasted the data across social media as proof of deepening voter disillusionment with Democrats amid ongoing economic pressures and policy fatigue in late 2025.
Independents — the group that decides elections — appear to be fleeing in droves.
And when CNN’s own analyst is waving the warning flag, the message lands even harder.
Democrats aren’t just underwater — they’re sinking fast.
Watch the clip below:
How are voters feeling about Democrats?
