WATCH: CNN Data Guy Sounds Pretty Panicky While Talking Dem Poll Numbers
Even without the sound on, the body language gives the game away
CNN’s data guy is NOT happy. That’s because the facts don’t lie, and the numbers are stark enough that no amount of spinning going to salvage them.
Listen carefully to Harry Entin setting up this story, and what he’s really saying here.
For months, we’ve been pumping up every bad news economic story we possibly can, and yet — for some inexplicable reason — the public has stopped believing our BS.
They are happy about the direction Trump’s economy is going… and it’s hurting Democrat election chances.
He’s never said those words, exactly, but if you are paying attention to the dismay in his voice and the incredulity that all the bad news stories haven’t been able to touch Trump’s popularity… that seems to be exactly what he’s saying to the audience.
For decades, polls showed Dems had a double-digit edge on the party who looked out for/was the party of the middle class. Polls now show the GOP/Trump have totally eliminated that gap.

This is CNN. They could always just lie about the numbers… right?
Except that they can’t. For three reasons.
1) Thanks to social media — especially free ones like Twitter/X, Rumble and TruthSocial, they can no longer play gate-keepers, since they have no choke-hold on the information sharing.
2) People have started paying attention to which groups have the accurate predictions. If they continually push false numbers, nobody will use their poll data… especially when other polling places have been telling the truth about how dire the situation has become for the Blue Team.
3) CNN knows there’s a risk in putting lipstick on the pig and saying everything is *actually* pretty good in Democrat-land. The Dems might learn nothing from their failure and lose ANOTHER election, possibly giving Trump another 2 years with control of the House and Senate.
It’s hard to imagine an outcome dem journos would find more horrifying than that… except maybe having to actually work for a living.
