CNN’s Harry Enten claims Trump’s support among moderate Republicans is down, citing selective polling and economic concerns, as the media continues its campaign against the former president.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten is once again promoting the mainstream media’s narrative of Donald Trump losing ground among moderate Republicans, a group that makes up about 30% to 40% of the party. According to a CNN/SSRS poll, Enten claims Trump’s net approval among these voters dropped from a +69-point lead over Kamala Harris in 2024 to just +10 points now—a number that conveniently fits the media’s agenda.
Enten blames economic concerns for the supposed decline, pointing to Trump’s net approval on the economy at +3 points, and negative ratings on Iran and inflation at -6 and -17 points. However, these numbers ignore the broader context of Biden’s disastrous economic policies and global instability, which have impacted all Americans.
"If I’m a Republican running for Congress in those swing districts, I need those moderate Republicans, and they are leaving Donald Trump," Enten asserts, echoing the left’s wishful thinking about GOP prospects.
Enten also takes aim at Trump’s skepticism of the polling, presenting a chart that shows Trump’s net approval dropping from +6 in January 2025 to -21 now. But as always, the mainstream media is quick to seize on any negative number to attack Trump, ignoring the enthusiasm and loyalty he still commands among the Republican base.
"In term number two, he is very much underwater despite whatever he is claiming," Enten says, continuing the media’s relentless campaign to undermine Trump’s leadership.
This latest report is just another example of the media’s ongoing effort to sow division within the Republican Party and weaken Trump ahead of the next election.
