CNN's Political Analyst Has a Simple Reason Why the GOP Are Whipping the Dems on the Economy

After some market volatility post-Liberation Day, the markets are stable. Inflation has been at its lowest in four years, and personal income increased in April. By every metric, the economy is on fire. Maybe that’s why the Republican Party is more trusted to handle these issues than the Democrats, which is a first. The economy and health care are two areas in which Democrats held sway with voters. That’s collapsed, pointing to another sign that the party remains stuck in the wilderness.

CNN’s Harry Enten noted that the GOP holds a near-double-digit lead over Democrats on economic matters. The GOP still reigns supreme regarding which party has the better economic plan. The reason is simple: Democrats lost the middle class. It’s a trend that was a long time coming, which made all these pro-working-class talking points from congressional Democrats a hilarious exercise—nobody bought it.

Of course, now that polls show Republicans taking over issues that long had Democratic dominance among voters, we can’t trust them. As Axios’ Courtenay Browne said yesterday, the data shows too much partisanship.

Translation: Democrats are sucking, and we can’t fudge the numbers anymore.

What a joke. Republicans hold voter advantages on crime and immigration matters, too. It’s a brutal poll.
