In the short amount of time President Donald Trump has been in power during his second term, he has shaken domestic and global politics.

Reflecting on the time since the Republican reclaimed the Oval Office on January 20 of this year, the 78-year-old's administration has certainly been busy, signing more than 100 executive orders and even starting a trade war with China and the rest of the world... just to name a few things he's done.

His policies and behavior has been controversial at times, one instance of that being when Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy was invited to the White House, where he was berated by Vice-President JD Vance on international TV.

It's led to the question being posed as to whether those who voted for Trump would do so again if they were to return to the polling station tomorrow.

CNN's data analyst Harry Enten dove into a YouGov poll that asked just that, and it revealed the shocking number of 'regretful' MAGA supporters there were.

“I mean this is the big question, right? I hear all these stories, all these articles, all the Trump voters, saying they regret what they did back in 2024," Enten said live on air.

"I’m here to tell you, very few of them regret what they did back in 2024.

“We’re talking just two percent. That’s not even a wide spot on the road. And then there’s this additional one percent who say they would rather not vote."

It means that if the 2024 presidential election was to take place again tomorrow, it would be an almost identical return, as the data detailed how less than five percent of Trump's supporters would consider switching allegiance.

Have a look below:

Meanwhile, for former vice-president Kamala Harris of the Biden administration, her voters would remain loyal to her and the Democrat party.

Enten continued: "The bottom line is for all this talk of Trump voters regretting their vote in the numbers, it really just doesn’t show up.

"If there’s some idea out there that Trump voters are going around [saying], 'man, I wish I had voted for Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump', the numbers say that is a fanciful universe. It really for the most part does not exist."

While looking into the numbers from Trump's first stint in power, Enfield detailed how the support he is receiving now is stronger than ever.

"In February 2017, four percent of Trump voters said they’d shift their vote—that’s actually slightly more than this time around," he told viewers.

"So you know, you look back, you say, OK, there’s these Trump voters who really regret their vote. Historically speaking, they really don’t regret their vote.

"And if anything, the number this time around is actually smaller than it was the first time around and it’s certainly smaller than the number we saw coming out of 2020, of course, after the events of January 6th."
