Data analyst aghast at latest Trump polling: 'No joke – what a disaster'

President Donald Trump's approval rating on the key issue that won him re-election has hit a dismal new low, and CNN's Harry Enten is betting things will get worse.

A new CNN poll shows the 79-year-old president's approval for his handling of the economy has hit a personal low of just 31 percent just a year and a half after voters chose him to carry through on his promise to fix inflation immediately upon returning to office, but that hasn't happened and the public is dissatisfied.

"This is no April fool's joke, this is a disaster," Enten said. "All these numbers are a disaster for President Trump. I mean, let's just talk about inflation, which is the name of the game. Okay, highest disapprovals on this inflation about this time in a presidency. Whenever you have Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter on the board and you're matching them or slightly exceeding them when it comes to inflation, you know it's bad. Look at this – 72 percent in our latest CNN poll say they disapprove of the president on inflation. Joe Biden, an average of polls at this point in his presidency, 68 percent, and Jimmy Carter, whose presidency, just like Joe Biden's, was absolutely wrecked by inflation, was at 66 percent about at this point in his presidency back in 1978."

"Donald Trump, even worse than they are," he added. "So you see it here, and the one word is or phrase I might say is, oh my goodness gracious, what a disaster."

Inflation was substantially higher during Biden's presidency than Trump's second term, but rising fuel costs associated with his Iran war are driving voter approval into the tank.
