That’s why a CNN host’s face went flush when this report on President Trump rolled in.
Trump’s Economic Trust Triumphs As Americans Rally Behind GOP Leadership
Americans are increasingly placing their trust in Donald Trump and the Republican Party to steer the nation’s economy, even amidst turbulent times. A recent CNN/SSRS poll reveals that Republicans hold an eight-point lead over Democrats on economic issues, a figure that has only slightly dipped from an 11-point advantage in November 2023. This persistent faith in GOP economic policies points to a growing belief that Trump’s leadership resonates with the financial concerns of everyday Americans.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten, appearing on CNN News Central, expressed sheer disbelief at the GOP’s enduring edge. “The first four months of the Donald Trump presidency, that you’d expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy. It ain’t so. It ain’t so,” Enten told co-host Kate Bolduan.
“The party that is closest to your economic views in November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points. Now it’s still within that range, still within that margin of error plus eight-point advantage for the Republican Party.” This sentiment reflects a nation that sees Trump’s economic vision as a steady hand in uncertain waters.
Enten’s astonishment deepened as he questioned the Democrats’ failure to capitalize on economic volatility. “How is that possible, Democrats? How is that possible?” he asked. “After all the recession fears, after the stock market’s been doing all of this, after all the tariffs that Americans are against, and Republicans still hold an eight-point lead on the economy. Are you kidding me?” The answer lies in Trump’s ability to connect with voters who feel neglected by decades of establishment policies, offering a pragmatic approach that prioritizes American workers and businesses.
Trump’s strategic economic moves have further solidified this trust. On April 9, he announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs via Truth Social, coupled with significant increases on Chinese exports, a bold step to address trade imbalances. This followed his initial unveiling of import duties, prompting global discussions on fair trade. After negotiations in Geneva, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trump reduced tariffs on Chinese goods, demonstrating flexibility and a commitment to results-driven diplomacy. These actions have resonated with Americans seeking a leader who can navigate complex global markets while keeping their interests first.
The trust in Trump’s economic leadership isn’t an isolated phenomenon. Enten pointed to a Reuters/Ipsos poll to highlight the GOP’s growing dominance. “If it was just this one CNN poll, that would be one thing. But take a look at Reuters/Ipsos. What do we see here? Party with a better economic plan. Well in May of 2024, just before Donald Trump was reelected president, Republicans had a nine-point advantage,” he told Bolduan. “Look at where we are now, in May of 2025. The advantage actually went up by three points. Now Republicans have a 12-point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan.” This shift signals a deepening confidence in Trump’s vision.
Even amidst economic turbulence, including a volatile stock market and tariff debates, the GOP’s lead has only strengthened. “And again, this is after months of economic uncertainty in which the stock market’s been going bonkers, in which the tariff wars that Americans are against have been going on,” Enten continued.
“And yet, despite all of that, the Democrats are down by 12 points on the economy.” Trump’s ability to maintain public support through these challenges highlights his knack for addressing the economic anxieties of ordinary Americans, from small business owners to factory workers.
The memory of past economic struggles under different leadership also plays a role. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) soared to a four-decade high of 9% in June 2022, following then-President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which many warned would fuel inflation. Prices surged over 20% during Biden’s tenure, leaving families grappling with rising costs. In contrast, Trump’s policies, focused on deregulation and American-first trade, are seen as a counterbalance, restoring faith in a government that prioritizes financial stability for its citizens.
Perhaps most striking is the GOP’s newfound connection with the middle class, a demographic historically aligned with Democrats. Enten noted, “In our latest CNN poll among registered voters, which is the party of the middle class, it is tied.” He added, “This, I think, speaks to Democratic ills more than anything else. They have traditionally been the party of the middle class. No more. Donald Trump and the Republican Party have taken that mantle away and now a key advantage for Democrats historically has gone adios, amigos.” Trump’s focus on jobs, wages, and economic opportunity has clearly struck a chord with working-class voters.
This shift reflects a realignment, as Americans see Trump as a leader who understands their daily struggles. His policies, from tax cuts to trade negotiations, are viewed as practical solutions rather than ideological experiments. The polls suggest that voters are not swayed by fleeting economic headlines but by a consistent message of putting America first, a hallmark of Trump’s presidency.
The data speaks for itself: Americans are increasingly turning to Trump’s vision, seeing in him a president who fights for their economic future with unwavering resolve.
