'They hate you guys': CNN data guru delivers stark message to GOP-led Congress

A political pundit slammed Congress after poll findings revealed historically high disapproval ratings and predicted poor midterm returns for the GOP.

"We're talking record-high disapproval of Congress," political analyst Harry Enten said on CNN on Thursday. "I am here in Washington D.C. to deliver a message: they hate you guys."

Enten shared Gallup poll findings that show 86 percent of Americans disapprove of Congress, the highest disapproval rating since November 2013.

"Just 10 percent of Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing," Enten stressed. "That is actually lower than the percentage of Americans who believe that we faked the moon landing."

Enten rubbed in that the same poll found that 12 percent of Americans think the moon landing was faked and 10 percent think that the Earth is flat. "When you can't even meet the Mendoza line of the moon landing, you know that you're in deep, deep trouble," he ribbed.

Compared to March 2025, Congress's approval ratings have dropped by 89 points, Enten added. It bodes poorly for the GOP heading into the midterms, as the party faces a 15 percent chance of holding the House, largely because turned-off Republican voters.

"Remember that Republicans control the House and Senate," Enten said. "Despite the fact that Republicans control Congress, Republicans themselves absolutely despise Congress at this point."
