Kate Bolduan Breaks Down Report With Harry Enten
Donald J. Trump’s resurgence in public approval has left some in the media visibly shaken, and CNN’s Kate Bolduan is the latest example. During a live segment, data analyst Harry Enten revealed a striking statistic: Trump’s net approval rating in the early days of his second term is higher than at any point during his first presidency.
This revelation, backed by hard data, set off a moment of disbelief for Bolduan, highlighting the ever-widening gap between public sentiment and media narratives.
Enten, known for his meticulous approach to polling, didn’t mince words. “Donald Trump’s first net approval rating of his second term is higher than his entire first term,” he stated matter-of-factly, adding that Trump is the first president in U.S. history to achieve such a feat.
Bolduan’s reaction? Open skepticism. “I have a really hard time believing this,” she retorted. But Enten stood firm, replying, “This is true. I don’t make stuff up. The numbers are the numbers.”
CNN’s Kate Bolduan panics and tries interjecting after CNN’s Harry Enten tells her Trump has a higher approval rating than he has ever had.

The data points to a stark reality: Trump is far from the polarizing, unpopular figure the media often portrays. In fact, the American public appears more aligned with his agenda now than ever before.
His campaign’s stronger organization, spearheaded by an impressive team that includes Susan Wiles as chief of staff, has allowed Trump to avoid the personnel missteps that plagued his first term. This streamlined operation is proving to be a game-changer.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s floundering presidency has only fueled Trump’s resurgence. From inflation and foreign policy blunders to eroding public trust, the failures of the current administration have amplified the appeal of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” message. What was once dismissed as a fleeting political movement is now cemented as a formidable cultural and political force.
For years, critics dismissed Trump’s support as an anomaly, claiming it was exaggerated or on the decline. But the numbers tell a different story. They’re now impossible to ignore, no matter how much certain media figures might wish otherwise. Trump is back, and the data proves it: the movement he built isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.
