CNN data analyst Harry Enten said Monday that President Donald Trump has reached new lows in approval ratings across several major national polls.
Speaking on CNN with anchor Kate Bolduan, Enten pointed to recent surveys from AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, NBC News, Yahoo-YouGov, and Quinnipiac University Poll.
Across those polls, Trump’s net approval ranged from 19 to 26 points “underwater,” marking the lowest levels recorded for him in his second term by each pollster.
“These are all second-term lows,” Enten said, adding that Trump appeared to have “fallen through” what many believed was his political floor.
When asked to compare Trump’s standing to that of Joe Biden and to Trump’s first term, Enten said the president is performing worse at this point than in either case.
Enten attributed much of the decline to weakening support among independent voters. He noted that Trump’s net approval among independents now stands at 27 points underwater in the Quinnipiac poll, compared with 17 points at a similar stage in his first term.
“When you lose the center of the electorate, you lose,” Enten said, warning that such numbers pose significant political challenges for the president and his party.

Stupidity
Has the fact that he is an absolute sociopath and madman finally sunk in?
The tarriffs was the most dumb thing Trump did. It resulted in many US businesses closing and negatively affected the average American by the rising costs of goods, the majority of which are imported. To think that American companies can compete with foreign companies is most ridiculous because, for one, labor costs in America is at least triple than in many foreign countries. So to begin with, goods produced in the US are more expensive than foreign produced goods so whichever way you slice it,the American consumer loses with these tarriffs.
