TAMPA, FLORIDA: Conservative host Benny Johnson recently took to X, formerly known as Twitter, where he shared a recent clip from CNN. In this clip, anchor Kasie Hunt reported on the network’s poll where Donald Trump had a lead over President Joe Biden.

In his post on X, Johnson spoke about how CNN was “forced to read their own polls” which were not in favor of the President as former President Trump “eclipsed” him, and users on X have weighed in with their thoughts.

On X, Benny Johnson wrote, “CNN forced to read their own polls on-air showing Trump eclipsing Joe Biden:”



 

The conservative host then quoted the CNN anchor, "The news is not great for President Biden.”

In the clip shared by Johnson, Kasie Hunt reported, “5 am here in Washington, where we have new CNN poll numbers this morning in two critical battleground states.”

Hunt let out a little sigh and continued, “The news is not great for President Biden and his campaign. The numbers show Donald Trump leading in both Georgia and Michigan.”

“In Georgia, a state carried by Biden with a very narrow margin in 2020, registered voters say they prefer Trump over Biden by 5%,” said Hunt as she continued, “In Michigan, which Trump won in 2016, but Biden carried in 2020, our poll is now showing Trump 10 points up.”

Hunt also added in her report that Trump’s margin over Biden has “significantly boosted” in both states by people who said they “did not vote in 2020.”

Internet reacts to CNN clip shared by Benny Johnson

After Benny Johnson shared CNN’s clip of their report on the latest Donald Trump versus Joe Biden poll in Michigan and Georgia, the internet’s response was prompt as people rushed to mock CNN.

One user questioned, “Does anyone even watch CNN anymore?” and another mocked the “look” on Katie Hunt’s face and wrote, “The look on her face is priceless.”



 



 

“Wait...they're not going to lie or ignore it? has hell frozen over?” wrote one user and another said, “I'm surprised they even reported it. I suppose their ratings have been so bad that they thought we don't like it, but it may help our exposure....🤣”



 



 

One user on X wrote, “They had to read their made up poll that shows anyone voting for Biden 🤣,” while another wrote, “Sometimes I love watching CNN 😁.”
