<p>The Democrat brand, according to CNN&#8217;s chief data analyst Harry Enten, is &#8220;in the basement&#8221; — with multiple polls showing that Americans in near record numbers have an unfavorable view of the party and that no clear leader has emerged to potentially carry the Democrats through the next presidential election.</p>
<p>Enten delivered the news during a Monday appearance on &#8220;CNN News Central,&#8221; where he spoke with anchor Kate Bolduan about the obvious issues plaguing the Democratic Party.</p>

<p>&#8220;Democrats at this point are historically divided. It is a complete and utter mess. It is messier than a hoarder’s basement. What are we talking about here? The national early poll leader — 25% plus,&#8221; Enten began, noting that Democrats typically had a standout potential candidate at this point in a regular election cycle. &#8220;Normally, that’s where Democrats are. [Joe] Biden was at 25% plus in 2020. Hillary Clinton was in ’08 and ’16. [Al] Gore was in ’00 and ’04.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;At this particular point, there is no one — no one — in the Democratic race for president who’s polling at 25% plus. The water is quite warm. If you’re a Democrat potentially thinking about running in 2028, jump right in — because at this point there is no front-runner,&#8221; Enten continued.</p>

<p>Bolduan pressed him on that point, asking whether he thought the lack of a clear frontrunner had any connection to the fact that so many Americans saw the party in a negative light — and Enten agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that that is in large part what’s going on is one of the reasons why there is no front-runner, nobody wants to put anybody up at the top of their ballot list, is because at this particular point, the Democratic brand is in the basement. It is total and complete garbage in the mind of the American public,&#8221; he explained.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Democratic Party’s net favorable rating — record lows in all three. Wall Street Journal, 30 points underwater. CNN, 26 points underwater. Gallup, 26 points underwater. And that is being driven in large part by discontent within the Democratic base,&#8221; Enten explained. &#8220;The Democratic base wants something different.&#8221;</p>
