CNN's Harry Enten: Republicans Have Big Leads on the Democrats On the Top Three Issues Going Into the Midterms

From Matt Margolis, Democrats may not get the usual midterm win.

[Excitable CNN Poll Dweeb Harry Enten] explained that polls showing Trump underwater don't mean diddly squat because Democrats are still losing badly on the issues that matter most to voters. "At this particular point, the Democrats are the New Orleans Saints of political parties," Enten quipped. "What are we talking about? Trust the Dems or GOP more on the economy. Who leads on the economy? Republicans by seven. Immigration? Republicans by 13. How about crime? A big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans. Look at that: Lead by 22 points."

That's not a statistical blip--it's a crushing advantage on all the top issues heading into the 2026 midterms. Enten warned Democrats not to assume Trump's poll numbers would save them from their own failures. "At this particular point, it's the Republicans who are running with the ball on the top issues, the economy, immigration, and crime," he said.

Bolduan then pressed Enten to compare today's numbers with the last time Republicans took control of the House. Enten's answer was devastating. "The GOP is more trusted than the Dems on the economy. It was 12 points in 2022," he explained. "Slight, slight decline in that lead, but still seven points. How about immigration? It was Republicans by three back in 2022. Look at this: the Republican lead's actually gone up by 10 points!"

"What are you doing, Democrats? My goodness gracious!" Enten said. "And on crime, the Republicans were up by 13, and now they're up by 22."

And note this doesn't take into account the extra five seats the GOP will probably pick up in Texas, nor the five seats the GOP will probably pick up in Florida (if DeSantis pulls the trigger), nor the extra few seats they'll pick up in Missouri and Ohio.

.@PeterMeijer tells CNN the left has "spent way more time treating Jimmy Kimmel as a victim than the person who was shot and killed in front of their wife and children" and "nobody" has been "silenced" by the government in the Jimmy Kimmel suspension, unlike what the Biden administration did with Google....

"Who was silenced? Nobody silenced....We talk about the blue and the red division, every single one of the reasons why the FCC has a role is because these are broadcast stations with a monopoly that was granted by the government....I would hate it if the federal government came in and said, you may not say that. The reason why Jimmy Kimmel got himself into the first place is he was repeating a lie believed by one in three Democrats that the person who assassinated Charlie Kirk had a right-of-center beliefs. We can parse his verbiage all day long. If he comes out and says, listen,' that was not what I was trying to say.' Thank you. Fantastic. I appreciate that, Mr. Kimmel. The problem is, that is believed, and we have spent way more time treating Jimmy Kimmel as a victim than the person who was shot and killed in front of their wife and children"

"Your hypothetical if the Biden administration went and jawboned, let's say, social media platforms. Deplatforming hundreds of conservatives? That is literally what the administration that you served did. Google just released all of the components...In the history of the FCC, they have done that plenty of times"

"Your administration deplatformed and kicked off of social media -- you want to talk about actually silencing? Having any single public outlet that you have on allowed to -- to broadcast something, right? Jimmy Kimmel could go on MSNBC tomorrow. He's going back on ABC tonight. This man has not been silenced. Charlie Kirk been silenced because he's dead. A lot of conservatives were silenced on social media platforms because the government threatened those social media companies. Facebook, Google, Twitter. You can go down all the list. YouTube again, just acknowledged to Congress today that they did that at the behest of the Biden administration....I don't care about Jimmy Kimmel."

While CNN cries "censorship!" and large-nosed propagandist Jake Tapper claims that Brendan Carr's single sentence was the greatest "direct" act of censorship in history, CNN has refused to mention Google's admission that Biden ordered it to censor conservatives for four long years.
