CNN’s Harry Enten: Democrats Dislike Their Own Party More than Republicans Did During the 2010 Tea Party Wave

EXCERPT:

ENTEN: “We have seen something like this before. You have to go back 16 years. Remember, it was that Republican Tea Party wave of 2010. I would argue the Democratic version of it is a new Tea Party, but it’s on steroids. Why do I say that? Well, let’s just start off with the fact, approve of their own party in Congress. Republicans in July of 2010, it was 52 percent. A very low percentage. But at least it was north of 50 percent. Look at where we are now with Democrats in terms of them approving their own members of Congress. It’s actually below 50 percent. Democrats dislike their party more than Republicans did during the Tea Party wave of 2010. Just 47 percent of Democrats now approve of their own party in Congress. As I said, it’s a new Tea Party, but it’s a Tea Party on steroids.”
