CNN polling aficionado Harry Enten presented some disconcerting data for Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections.
The GOP narrowly controls the House by seven seats and the Senate by three. Historically, the president’s party loses seats in midterm elections, and so Democrats are widely expected to take back the House. Also weighing on Republicans is the historic unpopularity of President Donald Trump, whose approval rating is at just 33%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
Enten joined Wednesday’s edition of OutFront, where host Erin Burnett noted a stunning special election victory by Democrat Brandon Dukes on Tuesday. Dukes flipped Pennsylvania’s 12th state House district, which Trump won in 2024 by 18 points.
“Is this an isolated incident or is this the start of something bigger?” Burnett asked Enten.
“I think it’s something bigger,” Enten said of the result in western Pennsylvania. “One of the things that Mr. Dukes ran on, I guess now Representative Dukes, ran on was the fact [of] his working-class upbringing. And what you see in sort of that district and what you see nationwide, is Donald Trump won with white working-class voters. But look at the switch that we’ve seen amongst them.”
A graphic appeared on screen showing that Trump carried the white working-class vote by 34 points over former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, but now his net approval among that demographic is minus four.
“He’s underwater with the white working class,” Enten continued. “That’s a 38-point switcheroo since the election. What’s going on in that district, what happened in terms of another flip in Pennsylvania earlier this cycle is emblematic, in my mind, of the group that has been the core of Donald Trump’s support. Adiós, amigos. Goodbye. See you later.”
Enten pointed to another data point: seats flipped in special elections.
“There have been 13 Democrats who have been able to flip districts that were formerly held by Republicans,” he noted. “Republicans have flipped zero, zero in special elections! You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to know that 13 is greater than zero. And more than that, if you go back over the last few cycles, five out of the five last few cycles in midterm elections, when a party outperformed in special elections – state, legislative, federal – they went on to win the U.S. House of Representatives. So, this to me is very emblematic of something that could be huge come November.”
