CNN Data Analyst Harry Enten Says Epstein Story Has Become a Political ‘Nothingburger’ (VIDEO) https://t.co/HVbyTBil6V
Public interest in allegations linking President Donald Trump to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein has fallen sharply, according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten. During a segment on Monday, Enten said Google searches for “Epstein” have plunged 89 % over the past three weeks and the topic no longer ranks among the leading search terms associated with the president. Fresh polling cited by Enten shows fewer than 1 % of Americans now regard the Epstein matter as the nation’s most important issue. Meanwhile, Trump’s overall approval rating stands at about 44 %, roughly seven percentage points higher than at the same stage of his first term, while support among Republicans is approaching 90 %. The findings suggest the controversy, which flared after calls to release sealed “Epstein files,” is having little political impact on the White House. Administration figures, including Vice President JD Vance, had predicted the story would fade. Separately, former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz used a Wall Street Journal op-ed to dismiss conspiracy theories surrounding the case, keeping the issue in the public eye even as broader attention wanes.
