CNN pollster and senior data reporter Harry Enten broke some bad news to the CNN audience recently when he spoke with Jake Tapper on Monday.
The Daily Wire reports that Enten told Tapper the Republicans are poised for historic gains in November.
“If you’re a Republican running for re-election, or trying to unseat a Democrat, things are looking pretty good, right?” Tapper asked.
“I would say they’re looking very good from the historical context. Basically, I took the best Republican positions on the generic congressional ballot at this point in midterm cycles since 1938, that generic ballot basically is, ‘Would you vote for the generic Republican or generic Democrat in your district?’” Enten explained.
“And guess what? Since 1938, the Republican two-point lead on the generic congressional ballot is the best position for Republicans at this point in any midterm cycle in over 80 years,” he continued. “It beats 2010, when Republicans were up a point.”
“Sometimes history isn’t always prologue, but my estimate for the 2023 House makeup if the election were held today — which again, it isn’t … would be Republicans, 236 seats to 241 seats. Democrats, 194 to 199,” Enten said, predicting a swing from Democrats +12 to Republicans +37-47.

"A lot of the Democrats’ problems, it seems, can be linked back to the president, right, who is severely underwater," Jake Tapper says — and Harry Enten concurs. pic.twitter.com/Cnzds4ER6v

Damaging still, Joe Biden’s approval rating on the economy is -26, the lowest in over 40 years. The economy is usually the number one issue for voters, who use midterms to penalize the President. In this context, it looks bad.

I can remember in 2019 CNN and other news agencies were hiring former CIA and Military Inteligence personal. Just before covid 19 and this whole insane promotion of woke idelogy and unelected Joe biden and kamila. Joe was on Twitter bragging about collecting to protect rioters. Strange how Jan 6 people are shamed by news anencies? When the BLM ANTIFA Looters were all on the democrat web site? Lots of police other people were murdered car dealerships police cars were destroyed businesss most businesses in News York has their wiondows destroyedd. All that is Ignored. Jan 6 people left President Trumps speach. the 2020 election was frauded. People were invited by police into the capitol bulding. two women were murdered never has been a trial as far as I know. From what the video’s show windows on one entrance door windows were broken. This is no where near close to the destruction BLM ANTIFA Looters or the ones who attacked historical statues. Homosexuality has made many loose touch with reality or seams as an excuse except its been illegal for 2000 years.
