CNN’s Harry Enten Warns: Biden on Track for Worst Dem Performance With Hispanics ‘Since We Started Polling the Gosh Darn Thing’

CNN elections analyst Harry Enten observed that polling suggests that President Joe Biden is on pace for the worst performance by a Democratic presidential candidate with Hispanics “since we started polling the gosh darn thing” in an appearance on Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday night.

In a segment about Donald Trump’s advantage over Biden on immigration, Enten noted that while voters trusted Biden more than Trump by an ultra-slim margin on the issue in 2020, they far prefer Trump now.

“It’s near 30 points!” exclaimed Enten about Trump’s margin. “This is a tremendous change that’s going on and it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is running on immigration. And he’s not just running on it in a Republican primary, he’s running on it in the general election.”

“And I also think that’s why there hasn’t been quite the backlash that you might expect over Trump’s comments,” noted Enten, presumably referring to Trump’s rhetoric about illegal immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the United States.

“And it’s because that voters at this particular point are quite concerned about immigration and they trust Donald Trump on this particular issue,” added the commentator.  “So you know, you might think, you know, that Hispanic voters might be the types of folks who would have a backlash against Donald Trump’s remarks, right? Ain’t the case.”

He continued:

If you ask Hispanic voters, who do they trust more on border security and immigration? Overwhelmingly, they trust Donald Trump more, by a tremendous margin. Look at that: 49% to 24%. And that is in line with what we’re seeing in the polls in general amongst Hispanics, right? Joe Biden won them overwhelmingly back in 2020 and won by over 20 percentage points. Democrats normally carry them overwhelmingly. If you look at the polling right now, in an average of polling amongst Hispanic voters, who did they choose in the ballot test? It’s barely Biden, Biden by about two points.

“It would be the smallest margin for any Democratic candidate among Hispanic voters, basically throughout history since we started pulling the gosh darn thing,” concluded Enten. “So the fact is, at this point, there’s no backlash. And at this point, I don’t see one coming.”
