Well, would you look at that—CNN, of all places, finally stumbled upon a nugget of truth, and from their own Chief Data Analyst no less.
Harry Enten—yes, the same guy who usually rides shotgun on the mainstream media bandwagon—went live on “CNN News Central” and delivered a dose of political reality that had to sting the newsroom like a shot of espresso after a four-hour MSNBC binge.
According to Enten, all those moody op-eds and dramatic testimonials about heartbroken Trump voters we’ve been spoon-fed since the 2024 election? Yeah, turns out that’s just fiction with a byline. The data tells a very different story. When asked if they’d change their vote in a do-over of the 2024 election, a whopping 2% of Trump voters said yes. Two percent. That’s not even enough to start a softball team, let alone flip an election.
So much for the great voter regret narrative.
Enten, to his credit, didn’t sugarcoat it. “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.’” And honestly, that might be the most brutally honest thing said on CNN this decade. His tone practically screamed, “Stop the presses—common sense spotted at CNN.”
And just to really hammer the point home, Enten went on to say that even if the election were held again, Trump would “likely still defeat” Kamala Harris. That’s right—despite four years of relentless media attacks, lawsuits, protests, and the occasional FBI raid, the MAGA base hasn’t budged. You can almost hear the collective gasp from coastal newsrooms wondering how this could possibly be happening after everything they’ve tried.
🚨NEW: CNN’s Harry Enten DUMPS cold water on narrative that Trump voters “regret” backing him🚨

Of course, Enten made it clear that this isn’t some fluke limited to 2024. He pointed out that Trump voters showed the same low levels of regret back in 2016. And why wouldn’t they? The man campaigned on securing the border, cracking down on bureaucratic bloat, and putting America first—and then he went out and did exactly that. The regret, if any, might be from people who underestimated how deeply Trump’s message resonated with a country tired of elitist groupthink and failed globalist experiments.
But here’s the kicker: the very media that helped manufacture the “Trump regret” fantasy is the same one that’s now being forced to acknowledge its own disconnect from reality. The same media that elevates anonymous Reddit posts and TikTokers claiming their aunt’s dog walker regrets voting Trump is now stuck watching its own data guy poke holes in the storyline. You’ve got to admire the irony.
To top it off, RealClearPolitics has Trump polling at around 47% approval. That’s higher than most of his first term, and certainly higher than what anyone in the Biden-Harris bunker is pulling these days. Funny how the more chaos the media throws at him, the stronger he seems to stand. Maybe it’s because Americans can smell the difference between a politician who tells you what you want to hear and one who actually does what he says.
Enten’s data-driven takedown of the Trump regret myth isn’t just a slap in the face to narrative journalism—it’s a wake-up call. Trump’s support isn’t some fragile house of cards; it’s a brick wall that hasn’t cracked under years of sustained assault. And if the media can’t accept that, they might want to brace themselves for another round of “How could this happen?” in 2028.
