CNN data analyst Harry Enten reports on recent polls that show little support for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) within the Democratic Party.

SARA SIDNER, CNN ANCHOR: All right, backlash this morning for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as division grows among Democrats over the deal to reopen the government. California Congressman Ro Khanna going so far as calling for Schumer to be replaced, saying he’s no longer effective. CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten joining us now. How are Democrats feeling overall about Schumer? We’ve seen a lot of comments from some House Democrats. But what about overall? HARRY ENTEN, CNN CHIEF DATA ANALYST: What about — what about Democrats nationwide feeling about Chuck Schumer? I think the word of the day is terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible, to quote another Charles, Charles Barkley, when it comes to Chuck Schumer. Look at this, least popular Dem Senate leader ever. I looked at all of the polls going all the way back since 1985. The one who has the lowest rating among Democrats is, in fact, Chuck Schumer. Look at this. He’s under water with Democrats. His own party, he’s underwater. He’s at minus four points. That makes him the least popular guy for a Dem Senate leader going all the way back since the mid-1980s at least. SIDNER: Do you have a sense of why? ENTEN: Why. Why, why, why. It’s because Democrats, they want a fighter. They want a fighter. That’s why. Take a look here. Democrats, Dems in Congress do too little to oppose Trump. During the first term, it was just 46 percent in 2017. That’s the percentage of Democrats who said that the Dems in Congress are doing too little to oppose Donald Trump. Look at where we are now, 69 percent. That is an increase of, get this, 23 points. The super, super duper majority of Democrats believe that the Democrats in Congress are not doing enough to oppose Donald Trump. And that, of course, is a big, big, big, huge criticism of Chuck Schumer. And that is why he is underwater. SIDNER: I knew you were going to do the dip. All right. ENTEN: I always do the dip. I need my exercise in the morning. SIDNER: You always do the dip. You do. There has been talks of a challenge to Schumer. What are you seeing on that front? Who looks like they’re in place to do it? ENTEN: OK. So, you know, you see this opening slide here and you see, of course, that Chuck Schumer is underwater with Democrats nationally. But, of course, the ultimate way to get Chuck Schumer out of office is to beat him in New York state. So, how do New York state Democrats feel about Chuck Schumer? And take a look here. The net favorable among New York Democrats, Chuck Schumer is above water with the Democrats in his home state, but just by 16 points. Look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running way ahead. If she decides to challenge Chuck Schumer come 2028, she’s got a real leg up on the competition. I dare say, at this point, she would be the favorite to beat him, which would be something that would just blow my mind, even just a few years ago given that Chuck Schumer, of course, is a New York born and bred type of guy. SIDNER: Yes, those are incredible numbers there. ENTEN: Look at that, 30 points ahead. My goodness gracious. SIDNER: That’s a lot. All right, Harry Enten, you’re always 100 percent ahead of the curve. I do appreciate you this morning. ENTEN: Thank you.
