President Donald Trump is enjoying a significant advantage over his predecessor on one of the most politically charged issues in America: crime. According to CNN�s chief data analyst Harry Enten, polling shows Trump�s standing on the issue has not only improved since his first term but is now dramatically stronger than President Joe Biden�s at the close of his presidency.

Speaking Thursday, Enten pointed to new numbers revealing that Trump�s net approval on crime � which sat at -13 points during his first term � has risen to +1 in his second term, a 14-point swing. �Americans view Trump far more favorably now on crime than they did a year ago,� Enten said, noting that the polling factors in events from across the country, including Los Angeles and other cities, even if it doesn�t yet reflect Trump�s latest moves in Washington, D.C.

The analysis comes just days after Enten highlighted a separate poll showing a majority of D.C. residents were frustrated with Trump�s direct involvement in local issues. That survey was conducted before Trump�s recent decision to federalize the D.C. police force and deploy the National Guard in an aggressive push to combat crime in the nation�s capital.

When stacking the data against Biden�s record, Enten said the difference was �like Air Jordan towering over the competition.� At the end of Biden�s term, his net approval on crime was a dismal -26, making it one of his weakest issues. The 27-point gap between Biden�s low and Trump�s current rating underscores a political reality Enten says Democrats often underestimate: �Americans are far more hawkish on crime than a lot of Democrats want to admit.�
