Just when you thought the liberal media couldn’t be more predictable! Since day one of President Trump’s return to the White House, we’ve watched the usual suspects launch their tireless campaign to convince Americans that his presidency is failing. Same script, different day.
Remember how these same outlets spent months assuring us Trump would never win in 2024? Well, Americans aren’t buying what the mainstream media is selling anymore. They’re questioning those suspiciously skewed polls, the selective reporting, and the constant doom predictions. So when CNN tried to triumph over Trump with a freshly-cooked batch of polling numbers, they weren’t expecting what happened next.
The polls delivered a truth bomb that left CNN analysts visibly stunned: Americans still prefer Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris. According to CNN’s own polling, 45 percent of Americans believe Trump would do a better job as president, while only 43 percent think Harris would perform better.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“If Democrats think that at this particular point, just because Donald Trump is unpopular, that they’re going to run away with it like a Heisman Trophy winner – that is not necessarily the case. These numbers should be a major wake-up moment for Democrats,” Enten said.
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten couldn’t hide his shock as he delivered the results on air, looking like someone who just found out his favorite restaurant switched to a vegan-only menu. Enten admitted this should be a “major wake-up moment for Democrats” – which is analyst-speak for “we’re in trouble.”
When Reality Crashes the Liberal Party
The poll revealed more uncomfortable truths for Democrats. A solid 40 percent of Americans believe Trump is actively tackling the nation’s problems, while a measly 32 percent said the same about Democrats in Congress. That’s not just a gap – it’s a canyon.
Even with Trump’s poll numbers taking a temporary dip due to market uncertainty following his tariff announcements, Americans still trust his leadership more than the alternative. Remember, these aren’t numbers from a conservative pollster – this is CNN, the same network that spent years predicting Trump’s political demise.
“When you look at Donald Trump in a vacuum, it’s one thing, but when you actually match him up against folks in the real world, all of a sudden his numbers look considerably better,” admitted a clearly puzzled Enten, who seemed to be processing this information in real-time.
Americans Choose Results Over Media Spin
Why are Americans still backing Trump despite the media’s constant attempts to undermine his presidency? Simple – they care about results, not rhetoric.
While the press obsesses over tweets and personalities, everyday Americans are focused on their bank accounts, border security, and America’s standing in the world. They remember the pre-pandemic Trump economy. They see his decisive action on tariffs aimed at protecting American jobs. And they’re comparing that to the previous administration’s record of inflation and international weakness.
As one conservative commentator put it: “The American people are smarter than the media thinks. They can see through the spin cycle and focus on what actually matters to their families and communities.”
This poll should send shivers down Democratic spines. If Harris, who’s been positioned as the Democrats’ rising star, can’t outperform Trump in hypothetical matchups after all the negative coverage he’s received, what does that say about their message and strategy?
The Media Bubble Bursts Against Reality
The genuine surprise on CNN’s faces tells you everything you need to know about the disconnect between media elites and regular Americans. They truly believed their own coverage would have eroded Trump’s support by now.
Instead, these numbers confirm what many conservatives have long suspected: Americans are increasingly tuning out mainstream media narratives and making judgments based on real-world results. When 40% say Trump is tackling issues compared to 32% for Democrats, that’s not just a statistical difference – it’s a vote of confidence in conservative governance.
As Enten himself admitted, “This looks a heck of a lot like the election result, despite the fact that Trump’s favorable ratings aren’t too hot to trot.” Translation: Even when they don’t love everything about him, Americans still prefer Trump’s approach to the Democratic alternative.
Key Takeaways:
- CNN’s own polling shows Americans prefer Trump (45%) over Kamala Harris (43%), despite constant negative media coverage
- More Americans believe Trump is tackling the nation’s problems (40%) than Democrats in Congress (32%)
- CNN analyst Harry Enten called these numbers “a major wake-up moment for Democrats” as they show Trump’s continued appeal when matched against actual competition
