CNN’s data expert Harry Enten expressed shock over new polling that shows the Democratic Party in deep trouble ahead of the 2024 election. “Are you kidding me?” Enten exclaimed during a segment analyzing President Joe Biden’s sagging approval ratings and dwindling support among key voter groups.
Enten was reacting to recent polls showing former President Donald Trump outperforming Biden in several battleground states, with Democrats losing ground among young voters, Hispanics, and African Americans — traditionally strong bases for the party.
“I keep looking for signs that this is going to turn around,” Enten said. “And I don’t see it.”
The numbers are particularly alarming for Democrats as they suggest that even in states Biden won in 2020, he now trails Trump. The polling also indicates Biden’s support among independent voters has significantly eroded, a trend that could prove decisive in November.
