CNN Data Chief Spots Ominous Polling Detail That's A Brutal 'Reality Check' For Democrats
CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten on Wednesday pointed to new polling from the network that he said will serve as a stark 'reality check' for Democrats amid Donald Trump's second term. Democrats are currently way 'behind their 2006 and 2018 paces when it comes to the generic congressional ballot,' said Enten. Democrats at the moment only have a two-point lead over Republicans, as opposed to the seven-point lead they enjoyed in the July of the year before those two midterm election years, he noted. 'Yes, Donald Trump may be unpopular but Democrats have not come anywhere close to sealing the deal at this particular point,' said Enten. Republicans also have way more chances to pick up seats in the House too, he added, saying that 'at this particular point, this election cycle looks a lot more like 2024 than it does than either 2018 or 2006.' 'For anyone who's writing the Republican House's political obituaries, hold the phone,' said Enten. 'This is a reality check, Republicans are still very much in the game.' Watch here: Related...

Harry Enten said Democrats have much to worry about when it comes to 2026.
The chaos engulfing President Trump's MAGA base might have some Democrats feeling confident about the 2026 midterms—but CNN's Harry Enten is telling them to slow their roll. During a Wednesday morning segment on CNN News Central, the data guru presented statistics demonstrating that Democrats are polling far behind where they were in previous bounce-back midterm election cycles. CNN's chief data analyst cited Ipsos data collected this month from the generic congressional ballot poll, which asks respondents whether they are more likely to vote for a Democrat or Republican in their next congressional race.

Poll: How Americans feel about info released on Epstein
CNN's resident data expert revealed that Donald Trump may be in deep trouble with voters due to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Citing a new poll conducted by political research firm SSRS Tuesday, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten showed that half of Americans are unhappy with the amount of information the government has released about Epstein. A full 43 percent of Republican-leaning respondents said they were dissatisfied with case, Enten said, with just 4 percent saying they're satisfied. 'My goodness gracious! When you only have 4 percent that is with Donald Trump on a particular issue, that is ridiculously low,' Enten said during a segment on CNN's News Central. 'I've never seen anything quite like it.' For left-leaning respondents, 60 percent said they were dissatisfied with the case as well and 3 percent said they were satisfied. Enten mentioned that Trump had leaned on the support of conspiracy theorists to get reelected and that he repeatedly promised to release Epstein's case file in full. Last week, the Justice Department released findings stating that Epstein never even kept a 'client list' and that he killed himself in jail. The announcement earned harsh criticism from leading MAGA figures and fringe theorists who Enten said helped Trump 'rise up from the dead' following his election loss in 2020. 'Donald Trump, from the very beginning, has been pushing conspiracy theories over and over and over again, and he has benefited from them historically,' the data expert said. 'And now, finally, it's coming back to actually bite him.' When asked by host Sara Sidner what the poll indicated overall, Enten replied: 'I would say that the word is dissatisfied. 'That is how Americans feel in terms of the releases so far in the Epstein case.' He highlighted how QAnon's support for Trump in last year's election proved crucial to his win over Kamala Harris, when the Republican repeatedly suggested there was more to the case than meets the eye. Such claims stoked the interests of many, especially on the right. Both Democrats and Republicans are now calling on Trump to make good on his promise. House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday said that the files should be released. The Justice Department's announcement on the findings earned harsh criticism from leading MAGA figures, including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Laura Loomer. Attorney General Pam Bondi had insisted in February that the Epstein list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review.' She subsequently released Epstein documents to right-wing influencers that turned out to contain no new information. Some critics have called for Bondi to be fired while pointing to the announcement as proof of a conspiracy surrounding Epstein and his associates. Epstein and Trump have were pictured together several times in the '90s and 2000s. Both carved out presences in Manhattan and Palm Beach. In a Saturday Truth Social post, Trump blamed Barack Obama, Hilly Clinton, former FBI boss James Comey and 'the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration' for the Epstein files, painting it as unreliable. He also reiterated the Justice Department's stance that a list of Epstein's old clients did not exist, angering many who voted for him in the process. Enten hit this home with data from a series of older polls, including one of registered voters who believed in conspiracy theories peddled by QAnon. The poll, conducted by nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute two months before the election, showed Trump beating Harris by a margin of +61. The same poll found registered voters who rejected such conspiracies preferred Harris over Trump by a margin of +16. Another poll showed how registered GOP voters and right-leaning independents who picked Trump in 2024 and 2016 have repeatedly sided with conspiracy theories the president has pushed for years. 'Trump swam in the conspiracy theorist waters for years, and now, finally, the sharks in those waters are coming to try and get him,' Enten said in response. On Saturday, Trump tried to wave off disgruntled voters clamoring for the full case file with a widely ridiculed post to Truth Social. 'What's going on with my "boys" and, in some cases, "gals"?' asked the president. 'We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and "selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.' A report from Wired last week found the surveillance footage released to back up the Justice Department's claim that Epstein killed himself in a New York City prison cell in 2019 was likely edited. Further analysis from the publication revealed a full three minutes of the footage was cut out. Daily Mail contacted the Federal Bureau of Prisons for comment.
