Enten: Democrats Are In For A Rude Awakening, Polls Show

Democrats got some tough news from CNN data analyst Harry Enten on the negative polls for President Donald Trump that they continue to tout.

He and the Republican Party are still crushing them.

A recent CNN poll showed that 45 percent of voters surveyed believe that President Trump is doing a better job than former Vice President Kamala Harris would have done as president, 43 percent said they think she would have done better and 12 percent said they would be the same.

“It’s not just about regretting that vote. It’s literally saying who would be doing the better job right now? And Trump continues to score a higher percentage of the vote than Kamala Harris. This looks a heck of a lot like the election result. We have just seen this in poll after poll after poll, despite the fact that Trump’s favorable ratings aren’t too hot to trot when he’s matched up against who he was matched up against in 2024. He still, across the polls, scores a higher percentage than Kamala Harris,” the data analyst said.

“The bottom line is when you look at Donald Trump in a vacuum, it’s one thing, but when you actually match him up against folks in the real world, all of a sudden his numbers look considerably better. And when you match him up against his main competition at this point, Democrats in Congress, he is more trusted on the main problems facing the United States right now. In fact, it’s not even close. It’s an eight-point advantage, which in this politics, well, that’s a wide ocean,” Enten said.

“If Democrats think that at this particular point, just because Donald Trump is unpopular, that they’re going to run away with it like a Heisman trophy winner, that is not necessarily the case. These numbers should be a major wake-up call for Democrats, despite Donald Trump’s unpopularity in the polls. When you actually go up against him and you put Democrats’ names against him, when you put Republicans as a whole up against him, Republicans and Donald Trump do considerably better. And that is why Democrats, in fact, cannot count their chickens just yet because those eggs have not cracked at this particular moment,” he said.
