CNN’s Kate Bolduan panicked on Friday after new polling from the network showed that regardless of how former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris performed during this week’s debate, voters still overwhelmingly said that Trump was the better choice for the economy.
Bolduan made the remarks on the network’s “News Central” while talking to far-Left commentator Van Jones and CNN Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The poll found that the margin of voters who said Trump was better for the economy than Harris increased from 16% to 20% after the debate, increasing Trump’s lead to 55%-35% over Harris.
“We’ve got the Fed very likely looking to cut rates for the first time since early pandemic days,” she said. “What does that mean for this point in the campaign? Because it’s a funky place. You’ve got, potentially, a good sign that Kamala Harris can talk about, kind of quote-unquote late-stage change, but you still have Donald Trump killing her when it comes to the economy. In that snap poll after the debate, he was up 20 points on the economy even though the vast majority said she won the debate.”
Later during the segment, she expressed frustration over the Biden-Harris administration’s messaging surrounding the economy.

“I just think the response I’ve gotten to ‘why isn’t she doing better on the economy’ or ‘why wasn’t Biden doing better on the economy’ that I’ve gotten from administration officials and from Democratic electeds, it has been unsatisfying to this point, which is they just haven’t gotten our message,” Bolduan said. “And at some point, I’m asking, where’s the expiration date on that reasoning? As at some point there has to be.”
