‘All-time high’ number of Americans believe Democrats are ‘too liberal’, poll says

A CNN poll shows 58% of Americans view the Democratic Party as too liberal amid a rise in far-left and democratic socialist influence, especially among younger voters.

  • On Thursday, CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten reported 58% of American voters in 2025 say the Democratic Party is `too liberal` during a discussion with anchor Kate Bolduan.
  • Enten said conservative Democrats are all but extinct while far-left Democrats have become ascendant, breaking down this shift during a CNN conversation with anchor Kate Bolduan on Thursday.
  • Now 21% of Democrats say they are very liberal, with about three in five Democrats identifying as somewhat or very liberal, unlike 1999 when 26% identified as conservative and only 5% as very liberal.
  • Potential electoral repercussions may emerge, as Enten warned that 58% of voters view Democrats as `too liberal`, citing primary results as evidence.
  • Among Democrats under 35, 42% identify as democratic socialists, and CNN asked last year found a third of all Democrats share this view, including Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani.
