Enten calls it the “most shocking piece of polling data.”
On Friday, CNN data analyst Harry Enten expressed shock at recent polling that found Democrats are no longer the party of the people.
…a title they have safely held for many years.
New polling found that Democrats and Republicans are tied 33% to 33% on the question of who “cares more for the needs of people” for the first time in over 30 years, according to a post-tariff Quinnipiac poll.
“This to me is the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truthfully have seen this year, maybe in any prior year,” Enten said. “Because I want you to take a look, ‘cares more for the needs of people like you.’ You mention we’ve got a tie even after this whole tariff war had already started, split between Democrats and Republicans about people feel which party cares more for needs of people like you. And why is that so surprising? Because I want you to take a look at prior years. Democrats always lead on this question.”
“Back in 2017, before the 2018 midterms, a 13-point lead,” Enten continued. “[In] 2005, a 23-point lead for Democrats, [in] 1994 which was a big Republican year, a 19-point lead for Democrats and now all of a sudden a tie? All of a sudden the Democrats, who are the party of the people, no more! No more. We’ve got a tie on this question that has traditionally overwhelmingly been [a] Democratic advantage.”
“If Democrats think they automatically have a ticket back to control of the House, I’d say hold on a second, Republicans still have a shot at this despite all of Trump’s theatrics over the last month with this tariff war,” Enten said.
