A new CNN poll reveals the Democratic Party is trailing Republicans on economic issues, surprising data analyst Harry Enten.
Despite fears of recession and unpopular tariffs under President Trump, Republicans hold an eight-point lead on economic views.
Reuters/IPSOS polls show Republicans now have a 12-point advantage on who has the better economic plan. Republicans have also gained ground with the middle class, historically a Democratic stronghold.
Enten noted that Democrats’ economic struggles risk losing their traditional base, with Republicans narrowing the gap and potentially overtaking them as the party of the middle class.
