CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten said the president was « underwater on every major issue. »
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has been « underwater » for six months, a data expert has said.
Harry Enten, CNN’s chief data analyst, said the president has been « swimming with the fishes » for « the vast majority of his second presidency » because of poor polling.Why It Matters
Trump’s approval rating is a useful snapshot of the mood of the nation and allows pundits and politicians alike to gauge the extent to which his policies are supported by Americans. An improving approval rating might buoy the administration and encourage it to continue its current political direction while—conversely—a negative rating might make it change course.What To Know
Speaking on CNN on Monday, Enten said: « I do see something of a pattern. Sometimes we lose the forest for the trees but I want to look at the forest and it is one ugly duckling forest that we are looking at for Donald Trump. »
He added that an aggregate of polls showed that Trump’s approval rating has been negative every day since March 12.
