CNN’s Harry Enten returned to the network’s big board Friday morning to deliver some stunning news about how Americans feel about the economy. The data analyst went over a Gallup poll that asked Americans what they feel is the most important issue facing the country today. Just 24 percent of Americans picked “the economy,” down from 43 percent in October 2024—the month before the presidential election. “It kind of pops off the screen,” Enten said. “We’re talking about 24 percent, we’re talking about a drop of near 20 points. And more than that, we’re talking about across all of the different political groups, right? Democrats, independents, Republicans, we see that the percentage who say the top problem is economic has been falling through the floor… Which is, I think, very much surprising given all the news that we are hearing about the economy.”
