Democrats have low approval numbers - to the extent that they do, which is certainly not absolute - BECAUSE THEY ARE ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES. Do you REALLY think attacking Democrats from the "left" by people claiming to be "progressives" (but who then will fail to support actual progress if their preferred candidate does not win the primary), HELPS the approval rating of Democrats?
