CNN Data Chief Makes A 'Political Loser' Out Of This Key Trump 'Battle'
HuffPost
Harry Enten said the president should "stick to other issues" as most Americans aren't rolling with his support of a "fringy idea."
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Friday spotted how Americans aren’t in line with President Donald Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship, noting that both Americans and legal scholars see such a move as a “fringy idea.”
“This is just from top to bottom a political loser for Donald Trump and Republicans,” said Enten who, just one day earlier, pointed to data showing that registered voters are getting “much closer” to Trump’s immigration policy in his second term.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court said it plans to hear oral arguments in May on Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship, a move that has been blocked by multiple district courts. Birthright citizenship was enshrined by the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 after the Civil War.
When Americans were asked about ending birthright citizenship for children born to immigrants “illegally” in the U.S., Enten noted that 56% said they opposed such efforts while 41% of those backed the idea, per an average of Ipsos polls.
Enten then turned to a trend showing less and less Americans since 1992 support ending birthright citizenship for children born to immigrants “illegally” in America.
