Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-working-class-gop-a-muddled-concept\/\" title=\"The Working-Class GOP: A Muddled Concept\">liberal media bias<\/a>, Enten acknowledges that Trump substantially outperforms President Joe Biden on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/infuriating-police-officers-widow-blasts-fetterman-for-appointing-cop-killer-friend-to-pardon-board\/\" title=\"\u2018Infuriating\u2019: Police Officer\u2019s Widow Blasts Fetterman For Appointing Cop Killer \u2018Friend\u2019 to Pardon Board\">crime-related issues<\/a>, with trump described as &#8220;Air Jordan&#8221; compared to Biden. Polls taken before Trump&#8217;s recent high-profile crime crackdowns &#8211; including deploying federal forces in Washington, D.C., and sending the National Guard to Los Angeles &#8211; already <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >showed growing public approval<\/a> of Trump&#8217;s crime policies. Americans, it appears, are more hawkish on crime than manny Democrats admit, which benefits trump politically. Enten also noted that controversies like the Jeffrey Epstein case have not harmed Trump&#8217;s support among his base. the polling suggests Trump&#8217;s positioning on crime remains a key advantage over Biden and is likely to continue influencing public opinion.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump&rsquo;s hard line on crime is a winner with American voters.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s the news from CNN chief pollster Harry Enten, one of the few voices on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-will-not-answer-press-questions-and-its-shocking-world-leaders-and-the-media\/\" title=\"...

But Enten has been passing along disheartening news to liberals for some time.<\/p>\n<p>The continuing cloud over the case of the late convicted sex criminal Jeffery Epstein hasn&rsquo;t seriously damaged Trump&rsquo;s standing with his base, Enten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-data-guru-disappoints-dems-latest-epstein-controversy-update-trumps-poll-number-continue-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported in July<\/a> (no doubt a blow to Democratic hopes).<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/activists-failed-cnns-data-guru-awe-americas-response-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he&rsquo;d detailed<\/a> how badly the American left&rsquo;s non-stop message of climate alarmism is failing with the American public.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, he all but drove a stake through the heart of any potential presidential run by former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-data-expert-runs-numbers-2028-dem-primary-terrible-news-kamala-harris-hold-horses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(Granted, that might not have been terrible news to all Democrats from a purely political point of view, but it undeniably underscored the resonating sense of failure of the Biden presidency.)<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Enten&rsquo;s record of analysis has to make him one of the left&rsquo;s least-favorite voices on CNN.
