Kid asks Jeffries why Democrats are unpopular

A "junior reporter" probed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about Democrats' struggles in public opinion polls.
 
"Why do voters view Democrats so poorly?" asked a child of CNN's Manu Raju on Capitol Hill's annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, drawing laughter from those in the briefing room.
 
"Did your dad give you that question?" Rep. Jeffries joked. "It's a great question. I'm going to have words with you after, Manu."
 
The minority leader said Americans were frustrated with institutions on the left and right as economic conditions worsened.
 
"There's a great frustration that applies to every organized institution in this country, and Democrats are not immune from that," he said.
 
Still, Rep. Jeffries said the party was working to gain Americans' approval.
 
"We do have a responsibility to continue to convince the American people that, as a party, we're actually focused on making their life better."
