CNN shared a new survey that crushes the narrative that Americans are not happy with the moves by President Donald Trump's administration when it comes to policies on things like crime, the economy, and immigration.
In a video posted on X on Monday by our sister site Townhall.com, CNN's data guy Harry Enten had to ask what the heck the Democrats are doing, and the answer is their obstructionist agenda is crushing them, resulting in a massive lead for the Republican party when it comes to MORE: Oh My: Dem Approval Just Hit New All-Time Low
Enten pointed out that Democrats are crowing that things are just going to go swimmingly for them and that the party is just going to "fly high in midterms."
He then unveiled a survey that read, "Trust the Dems or GOP more on" the following: the economy, immigration, and crime.
"Who leads on the economy? Republicans by seven points," Enten said. "Immigration? Republicans by thirteen points."
"How about crime? A big issue for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Look at that. Lead by twenty-two points," he added. "So, the bottom line is this…At this particular point, it's the Republicans who are running with the ball on the top issues, the economy, immigration, and crime."
And when he compared how the GOP's numbers look to the last time the Republicans took the House in 2022, Enten said it "gives away the game here."
The survey showed a slight dip in the economy question, but the GOP actually went way up in immigration and nearly doubled when it comes to the favorability of them over crime.
"The Republican lead has actually gone up by ten points," Enten said. "What are you DOING, Democrats? And on crime, the Republicans were up by 13, and now they are up by 22 points. The lead again expanding by nearly double-digits."
When he broke down the numbers, Independents are giving Republicans the lead in all three categories.
Enten's colleague asked if these were numbers for the overall period since Trump took office; he said no, this is just for the month of September 2025.
So, that means Americans like what they are seeing on the policies from the Trump White House on the economy. It means that all the crime crackdowns that President Trump has been doing in places like Washington, D.C., are what Americans want to see. Not to mention, all the arrests by ICE to rid our country of alleged illegal criminals is a winning move for the GOP.
As my RedState colleague Andrew Malcolm reported, Trump's low approval numbers do not translate to a win for the Democratic Party ahead of the midterms.
Malcolm wrote:
A recent study by a nonpartisan data company of the 30 states that register by party found that since 2020, all 30 had a drop in registered Democrats while 22 had increases in Republicans, a jumbo swing of 4.5 million voters.
Another revealing stat: Currently, of the 435 voting House representatives, fully 419 are members of the party whose presidential candidate won that district. This makes fewer races genuinely competitive, which would hurt Democrat swing opportunities this time.
To put it simply, even if Trump's approval numbers are underwater, Americans do not trust the Democrats to make things better and are willing to let the GOP continue to lead.
The Demographic Party is in trouble.
Get on the Trump Train or GET OFF THE TRACKS!
Amen!
Step aside, RINOs and Destruction Inc Dems.
So, how long before Lindsey Graham or other RINOs come out and say “We need to win the midterms so that we can cancel social security, repeal gay marriage”, etc. Just to make sure they lose the midterms?
Not only would I not put it past them, I’ve grown to expect it. They HAVE to do something, or else some stuff might get done in the remainder of Trump’s term, and their constituents might look to them to also get things done.
If the Republicans have the balls, they should use the Iryna Zarutska train stabbing pictures in their ads.
