According to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, Democrats are struggling politically despite President Trump&#8217;s unpopularity. Voter registration data adn recent polls suggest Republicans hold important leads over Democrats on key issues such as the economy, immigration, and especially crime. Enten likened Democrats to an underperforming sports team failing to capitalize on opportunities. The piece also cites a surge in Republican voter registrations following the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk, highlighting a notable shift of voters away from the Democratic party. The article criticizes some prominent Democrats and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-tom-cotton-lefts-bureaucratic-mindset-laid-bare-when-childless-activists-undermine-parents\/\" title=\"Exclusive \u2014 Tom Cotton: Left&#039;s &#039;Bureaucratic Mindset&#039; Laid Bare When Childless Activists Undermine Parents\">left-wing figures<\/a> for their responses to Kirk&#8217;s death and suggests that the party&#8217;s current strategies are not resonating with voters, perhaps leading to a prolonged period out of political power.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democrats continue their race to the bottom as they double-, triple-, and quadruple-down on crazy.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, assuming the major issues decide the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats at present face a possible resounding defeat.<\/p>\n<p>That was the message delivered Monday by CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, and it is the message suggested by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/floridas-registered-republicans-outnumber-democrats-by-over-100k-for-first-time-ever\/\" title=\"Florida\u2019s Registered Republicans Outnumber ... by Over 100k for First Time Ever\">voter registration numbers<\/a> in the wake of conservative icon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/president-trump-erika-kirk-expressed-different-equally-biblical-responses-charlies-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s<\/a> assassination 13 days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Prompted by Kate Bolduan, co-anchor of &ldquo;CNN News Central,&rdquo; the data analyst gave his usual entertaining overview and commentary.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What are we seeing?&rdquo; the perpetually animated Enten said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. &ldquo;You know, [President] Donald Trump being underwater, [and] Democrats saying, &lsquo;Oh, this guarantees us; we&rsquo;re gonna fly high in the midterms.&rsquo; Let me tell you.

Moreover, attentive observers generally regard the Saints as having the league&rsquo;s weakest roster and worst short-term prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Enten then revealed the results of a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/09\/19\/trump-poll-crime-immigration-economy-tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post\/Ipsos poll<\/a> showing that poll respondents trusted Republicans by seven points over Democrats on the economy, 13 points on immigration, and a gargantuan 22 points on crime.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The ball may be on the ground,&rdquo; the data analyst said, maintaining his football-related theme, &ldquo;but the Democrats have not picked up the ball.&rdquo;<\/p>\n[fiefly_poll]\n<p>Moreover, the Republican advantage has increased since they last won the House of Representatives in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think this kinda gives away the game right here,&rdquo; Enten said.<\/p>\n<p>Although Democrats gained slightly on the economy, they more than made up for it with massive losses on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gold-cards-undo-disastrous-immigration-policies-prior-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immigration<\/a> and crime.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;How about immigration?&rdquo; the animated Enten said. &ldquo;It was Republicans by three back in 2022. Look at this, the Republican lead&rsquo;s actually gone up by ten points. What are you doing, Democrats? My goodness gracious.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Then, after pointing to another nearly-double-digit increase for Republicans on crime, Enten summarized the situation for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So whatever Democrats are doing, it ain&rsquo;t working, Kate,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the data analyst showed poll results from independent voters that almost mirrored the results overall.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128165;WOW &mdash; CNN breaks down how MASSIVE of a lead Republicans have over Democrats in the upcoming midterms:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Democrats have NOT picked up the ball!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Republican lead has actually gone UP?!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What are you DOING Democrats?!&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N1LFplwZPw\">pic.twitter.com\/N1LFplwZPw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1970146713949319264?\">September 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/politics-policy\/elections\/charlie-kirk-effect-full-force-voters-register-republican-large-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Just the News<\/a>, Republicans have <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >netted significant voter-registration gains<\/a> since Kirk&rsquo;s murder, particularly in battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, that phenomenon includes what the outlet characterized as &ldquo;a historic wave of Democrats abandoning their party and joining the GOP.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>What could explain that phenomenon?
