CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Friday that Republicans are becoming more popular with the American public following President Donald Trump's tariffs.
A new poll shows Democrats and Republicans are linked to 33% to 33% of the time, for the first time in more than 30 years, with the issue of “careing more about people's needs.” According to For Kinipiac votes after saving money. Democrats have historically led Republicans in double digits on that question, dating back to 1994.
“This is the most shocking voting data for me, and I've seen it this year, probably the previous year,” Enten said. “I want you to look, so 'I care more about the needs of people like you.'' You feel that people care more about the needs of people like you, even after this whole tariff war has already begun.
“We came back before our 13-point lead in the midterm 2018,” Enten continued. “[In] In 2005, the Democratic Party's 23-point lead, [in] 1994 was a big Republican year, a 19-point lead for Democrats, and now a sudden tie? Suddenly, there are no more Democrats, the people's party! There's no more. We have something to do with this question and it has traditionally been overwhelming [a] Democratic benefits. ”
Enter noted that Republicans have invaded Americans, particularly from 2017 until the present, without a university degree. Democrats scored a seven-point lead among people without a college education in 2017, but Republicans now have a nine-point advantage in the same demographic.

Enten further suggested that Republicans could perform well in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, citing his own total votes, but traditionally incumbent parties have lost their position in such elections. In April 2017, Democrats took a seven-point lead in the general voting margin, but both parties were tied up in 2024. Currently, Democrats are leading the margin of vote by one point.
“If you think Democrats have tickets to automatically control the House, I think it's a two-second hold, but despite all the plays of Trump in this tariff war, Republicans are still shot at this,” Enten said.
The vote remains positive for Republicans after Trump imposed mutual tariffs to establish fairer trade and return manufacturing jobs to the United States.
The economy, inflation in particular, has improved since Trump re-entered the country after prices remained high throughout former President Joe Biden's administration. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.4% in March, the lowest growth rate since 2020, and the producer price index It's fallen 0.4%.
