President Trump has made substantial gains in 2020 matchups with Democratic candidates, according to new polling from one of his least favorite outlets.
"This is massive movement towards the president of the United States" CNN political analyst Harry Enten said on Friday.
While appearing on "New Day," Enten detailed the differences between support for Democrats in October versus support shown in their December polling explain the rise in Trump's numbers has caught everyone off guard.
The polling came after a tumultuous two months of campaigning and House Democrats pushing impeachment. According to CNN, it conducted its polling after the House approved two articles of impeachment -- something voters began souring on in recent polling.
CNN also revealed that under Trump, the economy received its highest rating in nearly two decades. Enten speculated that the economic approval drove higher favorability ratings for the president. Several of the top Democratic candidates saw their favorability rating flip from net positives to net negatives between October and December.
