CNN's Harry Enten Spills How Trump Is 'Big, Big Trouble' For These Republicans
HuffPost
The network's data chief broke down how the president was an "absolute drag" on such candidates.
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Thursday revealed how President Donald Trump proved to be harmful for GOP candidates in key election races.
“If there is any idea that Republicans are going to be able to outrun Donald Trump’s low approval ratings, this says, ‘Nuh-uh, they’re going to be like impalas getting chased down in the African desert by a big lion,’” said Enten in his analysis of CNN exit polling.
Enten highlighted 2025 exit poll data showing how 93% and 92% of those who disapproved of Trump voted for the Democratic gubernatorial nominees in New Jersey and Virginia, respectively.
Those figures are a jump from Trump’s first term in 2017 when 82% and 87% of those who disapproved of the president voted for the Democratic gubernatorial nominees in those two states.
Enten declared that Tuesday night’s results show Trump — who continues to face disastrous approval ratings in his second term — was an “absolute drag” on those candidates and likely was on those nationwide.
