Hilarious Hot Take When CNN Discussed Those Bad Polling Numbers for Dems

CNN has been dropping some bad numbers for Democrats over the past couple of days in its polling.

Their polling showed that even Democrats didn't think the Democrats were the party that got things done or the party with strong leaders.

Then, on top of that, the polling showed that despite all the furor over tariffs and Democrat/media propaganda about the economy, Americans still believed that the Republicans were closer to their economic views/had the better plan, even in polls like Reuters/Ipsos. On top of that, Dems were no longer believed to be the party of the middle class in CNN polling, which they'd held since 1989. "Adios, amigos!" as Harry Enten colorfully described it.

How they dealt with it on Monday on "CBS This Morning" was rather interesting.

CNN anchor Audie Cornish acknowledged that Republicans were doing better than Democrats on major issues, but she did spin it.

The poll also asked which party best reflects their view on a range of issues. And when it comes to crime, the economy, immigration, Republicans still hold an advantage, although actually those numbers are starting to slip.

Cornish then asked guest Courtenay Brown, an economics reporter with Axios, what she thought of the poll, and her response was funny.

Brown said:

I couldn't help but be reminded about a big problem in my part of the world. The econ part of the world. We can't get a clean read on how consumers feel about the economy, because the data has been infected by partisanship really in an unprecedented manner. So-

Cornish replied, "Meaning your partisanship reflects whether or not you think the economy is good or not?"

Brown responded:

Right. Do people think the economy is not doing well, or do they just not like who's in the White House? This is a huge problem right now. And it's — it's making it impossible to get that clarity that economists like to see about how consumers are doing. Do they intend to spend, makes it impossible to forecast.

That's hilarious.

So there are a couple of ways to look at that.

Partisanship has probably affected polling for a long time. It's funny to mention partisanship now that the numbers are good for Republicans and bad for Democrats on a CNN panel about CNN's polling.

But another way of looking at it is if "partisanship" is affecting how people are responding — meaning people's parties are affecting how they think — then let's consider what that means. If you're Republican and the economy is good, your "partisanship" and the facts coincide, you're going to say "it's good." But if you're a Democrat and the economy is good, do you "just not like who's in the White House," and are you being more negative than the facts would suggest? In other words, the numbers could possibly be even better if not affected by the TDS, if you look at it like that.

So I don't think that point really helps the Democrats.
