When it comes to rare glimpses of truth cutting through the fog of establishment media, CNN contributor Scott Jennings surprisingly steps up to the plate. In a recent discussion aired on CNN, Jennings shared polling data that suggests former President Donald Trump is leading in the critical economic arena against Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Who knew CNN could still produce a moment of clarity amid the usual confusion?
According to Jennings, voters seem to have fond memories of the Trump era, demonstrating what can only be described as selective amnesia during the Biden-Harris administration. Instead of sweeping economic failure and inflation under the rug, the poll from CNN revealed that a hefty 51 percent of Americans rated Trump’s presidency as a success. In comparison, a mere 37 percent believe the same of the current administration. A 14-point approval edge isn’t just a statistical anomaly; it paints a stark picture of what may come in the next election. If this trend holds, Trump appears to have a leg up that’s as wide as a midwestern highway.
Yesterday’s polls were very bad for Harris. Trump is viewed as a more successful president than the current admin and they trust him more on the economy, even as Dems lie about his record. We discuss on @cnn. pic.twitter.com/NMfAUzIcjD

Jennings pointed out the undeniable reality that Americans are comparing Trump’s track record to the corporate governance of the current Democratic regime. He observed that people are recalling the policies from the Trump administration and contrasting them with the present situation, namely the economic malaise and government overreach characteristic of Harris’ proposals. Apparently, “cherry-picking” may be their way of reminiscing about the “good old days” when the economy didn’t resemble a bad episode of a reality TV show.
Further analysis revealed that trust in Trump over Harris on economic matters stands at a striking 50-39 ratio. This isn’t just a bad day for Harris; it’s a scorched-earth report card about her tenure. It’s almost laughable how Harris, despite her grandiose plans resembling sheer communism, has failed to deliver tangible results. With her policies pillaged from Trump’s smarter solutions and her communication felled by a chronic inability to string sentences together, she seems to fumble at every public appearance.
Harris has mastered the art of avoiding unscripted media exposure, which is a smart move for someone with her track record of verbal acrobatics that leaves audiences questioning their comprehension. It’s almost as if the media anticipates her next word salad, and a network interview—recently announced to be with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle—is likely to play out like an episode of “Survivor,” with Harris hoping to avoid being voted off the island of relevance.
In light of all this stellar polling, one has to ponder whether voters will continue to support the current administration despite their obvious economic self-sabotage. Jennings noted, however, that if the election revolves around nostalgia for better times, Trump is perfectly poised to capture the hearts (and votes) of Americans who long for the economic prosperity of yesteryear. Defying logic, some may vote against their interests, but with Trump’s comeback narrative, there’s a growing sentiment that the trend will lean the right way—back to a flourishing America.
