WATCH: CNN Host Shocked By Poll Showing Trump’s Dominance On Foreign Policy

Global conflicts from Tehran to Kyiv are testing Americans’ waning enthusiasm for overseas interventionism, with President Donald Trump walking a fine line between targeted missile strikes and total disengagement.

For the time being, however, he and the GOP appear to be keeping the majority of voters in their corner when it comes to foreign policy.

Those results stunned Harry Enten, the CNN data analyst who has made a habit of delivering favorable polling news for Trump since the start of his second term. His announcement built on earlier developments by Fox News, which found the GOP held a 3-point advantage on foreign affairs, while the Wall Street Journal pegged the GOP’s advantage at +8.

Together, the results were “surprising,” Enten observed, given that all of the foreign wars remain unpopular among most of the electorate.

“This one was a surprising one to me, given everything that’s going on in Russia, what happened in Iran, what happened in Gaza. But the bottom line is: Democrats in the American voters’ minds cannot hack it,” Enten said. “What are we talking about? Party trusted more on foreign policy. Well, the GOP holds an average six-point lead in the month of July. Look at this. Fox News came out last week, plus three points for Republicans on foreign policy over the Democrats.”

“You think that number is not high enough for you? How about the Wall Street Journal? GOP plus eight points when they match congressional Democrats up against congressional Republicans,” he continued. “The bottom line is this: despite everything that’s going on in the world right now, Republicans are more trusted [than] Democrats when it comes to foreign policy and the world at large.”

John Berman, host of “CNN News Central,” asked Enten how those numbers compare to Trump’s advantage on foreign affairs during the 2024 campaign.

“Again, this to me was a surprising number since [President] Donald Trump said he’d come in and broker all these peace deals. And while he’s brokered some, he hasn’t obviously brokered one between Ukraine and Russia,” Enten said, the Daily Caller reported. “And obviously the situation in Gaza. But take a look here. Trust more on foreign policy. You go back to 2024. Trump had a six-point advantage over [former Vice President] Kamala Harris. Again, look at the average right now. It hasn’t moved despite everything that‘s going on in the world. You see Republicans plus six points here.”

“Despite any misgivings that the American public might have about Donald Trump, when you match up Republicans against Democrats, Donald Trump against Democrats, still, at this particular point, they are doing significantly better than you might expect,” he added. “And when it comes to the issue of foreign policy, again, what you see is in the American voters’ minds, Democrats, simply put, can’t hack it. More voters trust Republicans on foreign policy very much like they did back during the 2024 campaign.”

Trump on Sunday told reporters he may shorten a 50-day window offered to Russian President Vladimir Putin to strike a deal and end the war in Ukraine. The offer comes after the Kremlin chastised Trump for “concerning” remarks about Putin’s sincerity following their last phone call.

Instead, Trump suggested he would implement sweeping secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia, a hit that would devastate the country’s oil sector.

The polls on GOP favorability come as Democrats hit their lowest approval rating in history among voters. Surveys by CNN and the Wall Street Journal found the party suffering anemic approval ratings of 28% and 33%, respectively.
