CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten recently revealed something that many Republicans have long anticipated: the Republican Party is emerging as the true champion for America’s working class, outshining the Democrats in their own traditional stronghold.
This transformation has been gradual but became unmistakably clear during the 2024 elections, where President Donald Trump captured hearts across diverse demographics. It’s a clear signal that average Americans are seeking more than just empty promises—they’re rallying behind a party that truly represents their interests.
In recent times, Democrats have only distanced themselves further from the working class by defending radicals who do not align with the values of everyday Americans. Their recent fierce defense of Wall Street during the tariff debates only underscores this divide.
As FOX News highlighted, Harry Enten expressed his astonishment at the polling data:
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said on Friday morning he was shocked when seeing how much the American public believes the Republican Party cares about them, even in the wake of President Donald Trump’s tariff salvo.
During a segment on CNN News Central, Enten presented fresh poll numbers showing equal levels of belief in Republicans and Democrats caring for U.S. citizens. Historically, this perception was a Democratic stronghold.
Enten remarked, “This, to me, is one of the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truly, truthfully have seen this year, or maybe in any prior year,” emphasizing the unexpected nature of these findings post-Trump’s tariff announcements.
He continued, “And why is that so surprising? Because I want you to take a look at prior years – Democrats always lead on this question.”
“And now all of a sudden, a tie?” he asked. “All of a sudden, the Democrats, who were the party of the people. No more! No more! We get a tie on this question, on a question that has traditionally overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage… It‘s truly something I would not have expected to see, especially after this tariff war had begun.”
Enten shared his disbelief at the shift with a tweet:
A shocker for me given the tariff war: The GOP seems to be in their best position ever for the party who cares more for the needs of people like yourself.
A tie on a metric that Dems have historically led by double digits.
The reason? Huge GOP gains among the working class.

The Democrats have been offering nothing but outrage and protests to working-class Americans, failing to propose actionable solutions. It’s no wonder they’re losing their grip as the party of the people. The GOP, on the other hand, is stepping up and showing they truly care for the average American’s needs.
