Remember, DEs are those who actively support Voldemort.  Umbridge 
shows no evidence of that; she is simply a power mad nearly psychotic 
hideously ugly bitch of a witch.  Others here have already referred to 
Sirius's excellent comment about the world being made up of more than 
Good people and DEs.  Umbridge is plenty bad without being a DE to 
boot. 

If Umbridge was a DE, she wouldn't behave the way she did.  Haven't 
most of Voldemort's supporters who infiltrated Hogwarts been 
undercover?  Quirrell appeared to be a timid professor, Pettigrew was 
a pet rat, and Crouch Jr. was disguised as Mad Eye Moody.  Voldemort's 
supporters are actually smarter than Umbridge (which is scary).  
Umbridge goes around antagonizing everyone, setting herself up for the 
resistance she later encounters.  If she was a DE, wouldn't she have 
tried to gain the trust of those like Harry or McGonagall instead of 
what she did?
