CNN Data Chief Says Trump Is An 'Abject Disaster' On This Key Issue

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten says Americans are losing trust in President Donald Trump when it comes to handling inflation, an issue he promised to end on “day one” of his second term.“Let me just say, this is an abject disaster!” Enten told CNN’s Jessica Dean.Enten, citing an aggregate of polling, highlighted how the president’s net approval rating (percent approval minus percent disapproval) on inflation is now in the “gutter” with voters at -25.“That is where the Little Mermaid is and he is matching the Little Mermaid. That’s how far underwater he is on the issue that got him elected,” Enten said.Last year — when compared to how voters viewed then-Vice President Kamala Harris on inflation — Trump had a +9 net approval rating.Enten’s findings arrived moments after Dean flagged new data showing prices of a range of products — including ground beef, apparel, toys and furniture — have increased even as inflation has held steady, indicating that Trump’s tariffs are being passed onto consumers.Ahead of next year’s midterms, Republicans are also seeing a loss in trust when it comes to how voters think of them on inflation.Enten cited a recent Fox News poll where the Democratic Party had a +1 net approval rating on inflation, a notable swing to the left compared to the Republicans’ +13 net approval rating in the same poll back in October 2022.“The bottom line is, the wrath that the voters feel for Donald Trump on inflation is transferring over to House Republicans,” he said.Inflation, he added, remains the top issue for a majority of Americans, according to a Marquette University Law School poll released last month.“Voters in poll after poll after poll say that Donald Trump has taken his eye off the ball, off the big issue of the day, which is inflation,” he said.He later continued, “I can guarantee you this, Jessica, if these numbers look right now like they do or will look on Election Day 2026, there is no way on God’s green Earth that Republicans can hold on to the House of Representatives.”
