CNN’s Harry Enten Rejects Narrative That There Are ‘Regretful’ Trump Voters: ‘More of a Media Creation’
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten shot down the narrative that people who voted for President Donald Trump are beginning to regret their decision months into his presidency.
Enten joined CNN anchor John Berman on Wednesday to show that polling proves the idea of “regretful” Trump voters is “more of a media creation than anything else.”
“I hear all these stories, all these articles, all the Trump voters, they regret what they did back in 2024. I’m here to tell you, uh-uh. Very few of them regret what they did back in 2024,” he said.
Enten cited a YouGov poll released this month that showed less than 5% of Trump voters would change their 2024 decision. According to the survey, 2% would change their vote to another candidate and another 1% would not vote.
“If folks got to be able to redo their vote that they had back in 2024, would the result be any different? I doubt it would be. I doubt if would be or it would still be extremely close. The bottom line is for all this talk of Trump voters regretting their vote in the numbers, it really just doesn’t show up,” Enten said, noting the results for voters who supported then-Vice President Kamala Harris were similar.
Trump’s numbers are slightly better than during the same period in 2017 in his first term when his voters were posed the same question with 4% saying they’d change their vote.
“The bottom line is this, if there’s some idea out there that Trump voters are going around, [saying] ‘man, I wish I had voted for Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump,'” Enten said. “The numbers say that is a fanciful universe. It really, for the most part, does not exist.
