CNN Data Guru ‘FLABBERGASTED’ on How Dems Are Polling with the Middle Class [WATCH]

CNN’s senior data analyst Harry Enten presented new polling data this week that shows Democrats continue to struggle with voter trust on the economy, marking another setback for the party as President Donald Trump’s second term continues.

In a segment aired by CNN, Enten revealed that Republicans hold an eight-point lead over Democrats when voters are asked which party aligns more closely with their economic views.

The data comes from recent polling, including a Reuters/Ipsos survey that showed Republicans performing even better on the question of which party has the better economic plan.

“This speaks to Democratic problems on the economy basically better than anything you can possibly look at,” Enten said during his analysis.

He noted the trend spans across multiple polls and reflects an ongoing voter shift, not just a single data point.

Enten explained that this decline is particularly significant considering Democrats once held a strong advantage on economic issues, especially among middle-class voters.

He pointed to polling data dating back to 1989 that showed Democrats with a clear lead when it came to representing the interests of the middle class.

According to Enten, that advantage has now completely eroded.

“Which is the party of the middle class? Democrats used to have a huge advantage in this area in 1989, but now it’s tied in this poll,” Enten said.

“They have traditionally been the party of the middle class. No more! Donald Trump and the Republican Party have taken that mantle away and now a key advantage that Democrats had historically has gone away.”

The findings follow earlier CNN reporting that revealed growing dissatisfaction among Democratic voters with their party’s direction and leadership.

A recent focus group conducted by the network showed participants using terms like “sloths” and “tortoises” to describe the Democratic Party’s pace and energy.

In addition, a significant majority of Democrats surveyed said they did not believe their party had strong leadership or could effectively get things done.

Despite frequent media criticism of President Trump’s use of tariffs and warnings of possible economic downturns, Enten pointed out that those concerns have not translated into a loss of public confidence in Republican economic leadership.

The polling shows that Americans continue to view the GOP as the party better equipped to handle the economy.

The polling also comes at a time when broader economic indicators are showing improvement under the Trump administration.

Consumer confidence has increased, inflation rates have declined, and personal income growth has accelerated.

Additionally, the number of Americans who say the country is headed in the right direction has reached historically high levels.

Although concerns about tariffs persist in some corners, voters appear to be placing more trust in the overall Republican approach to economic policy.

Enten’s analysis reflects a broader political trend: despite targeted criticisms and efforts to frame Republican policy as harmful, polling data continues to show voters leaning toward the GOP on kitchen table issues.

The Firearms Policy Coalition, which is actively involved in ongoing litigation against various firearm restrictions, also weighed in on the broader direction of the country this week, noting that constitutional rights and economic freedom remain top priorities for many Americans.

Although unrelated to the CNN data, their comments echo a common sentiment across conservative groups that trust in government institutions and traditional political alliances is shifting.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, Enten’s data reinforces the reality that Democrats are facing an uphill battle to regain ground on the economy—long considered one of the most important issues to American voters.
