CNN data analyst Harry Enten zeroes in on President Trump’s approval ratings:

HARRY ENTEN, CNN: 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’re looking at for Donald Trump. Look at this negative net approval rating. You know, we talk about one poll, the CBS News poll. We talk about another poll, the NBC News poll. Look at the aggregate polls and look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative. It has been every day since March 12th in the average of polls. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Donald Trump has been underwater-swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Donald Trump when looking at the aggregate and looking overall. He has been negative for a very long period of time, the vast majority of his second presidency. What about the issues? OK, what about the issues? You see this here, right? Is there any shining light? Is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Well, look at the issues. Look at this. These are all the key issues. Donald Trump is underwater on all of them. Trade-obviously tariffs have been a big thing-at the bottom of the list, minus 17 points. The economy, which was the reason he was elected to a second term, to fix the economy-way underwater at minus 14 points. Foreign policy, minus 12. And then, I think, John Berman, the key two issues at the top, because these have been Donald Trump’s strongest issues: crime and immigration. But get this-he is now underwater on both of these issues. If barely, but he’s under. On crime, at minus 2; immigration, at minus 3. On all the key issues, he is again swimming with the fishes-consistency across the board. It is interesting, though, because the difference here does explain why, even with these jobs numbers, which were historically bad on Friday, this is what he’s focused on today. He’d rather be talking about this than this. All right, what about with key groups that may have influenced his election victory? So, you know we talked about right at the top-that every day since March 12th he’s been negative. What has changed since February in terms of making Donald Trump go from the positive side of the ledger to the negative side of the ledger? And this, of course, I think is so important. Two key groups that were so important to getting Donald Trump a second term. He did so much better than the traditional Republican among those under the age of 30 and Hispanics. Look at this-in February, among those under the age of 30, his net approval rating according to CBS News was plus 2 points. Look at where we are now: negative 30 points. That’s a 32-point move in the wrong direction. And Hispanics: he was 6 points underwater in February. Look at this-minus 34 points now. That’s a 28-point move since February. No wonder Donald Trump’s in trouble. He’s steady across the board, and since February, when he was last positive, he’s only gotten significantly worse among two very key groups for his election back last year. If this sticks, it’ll be interesting to see how it impacts some of these districts, especially in Texas, in the midterms.
