CNN Data Chief Spots 1 'Big Reason' For Trump's Approval Rating Drop
HuffPost
Harry Enten broke down why the president is "not with the American public" on this particular issue.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten on Thursday laid out how President Donald Trump’s tariffs push isn’t helping Americans’ impression of his job performance.
Trump has seen his approval rating drop in the ten weeks since the start of his second term, according to an aggregate of data tracked by RealClearPolling. The site’s most recent average of polls finds 48% approve of Trump’s performance, while 48.8% disapprove.
Enten pointed to the fact that most Americans oppose tariffs, which have become central to the president’s economic policy.
“That is a big reason why we’ve seen Donald Trump’s overall approval rating take a pretty big dip over the last two months and change,” Enten said.
Enten’s report arrives one day after Trump revealed plans to impose 25% tariffs on imported cars and light trucks, with the president claiming that such a move would “spur growth” for American manufacturing and lower vehicle prices for consumers.
