President Donald Trump has hardly been a big fan of CNN in recent years, but there's at least one person at the network who attracted his praise Saturday.
"The best person on CNN is Pollster Harry Enten, because he was willing to show that Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The president added, "He's got Credibility (Don't fire him!)."
Earlier this week, the CNN data analyst delivered a "reality check" to viewers about Trump's sustained popularity among GOP voters. In the segment, he referred to a poll from May finding that the president present-day Republicans "most admire" is Trump.
The data analyst showed a slide indicating that 53% of Republicans named Trump as their most admired choice, with 18% naming Ronald Reagan and 8% naming Abraham Lincoln.

"I feel like this slide might end up on a printout on his desk sometime soon if he hasn't seen it already," Enten's colleague John Berman quipped.
The president's praise for Harry Enten came as he derided CNN and MS Now.
"CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL, and so is MSNOW, the new name for MSDNC — Literally, nobody is watching either Network!" he wrote.
