CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Thursday showed that President Donald Trump’s polling is well “below water” in terms of how Americans view his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“Donald Trump is underwater on basically every single issue he ran on in 2024. But the Epstein files, the Epstein case, are especially dreadful for him,” he said.
Trump’s net approval ratings (percent approval minus percent disapproval) on several key issues — immigration, foreign policy, trade/tariffs and the economy — fall between -5 points to -18 points, according to Enten’s aggregate.
Trump’s net approval rating on the Epstein case? -39, according to Enten.
These findings arrive one day after the president was named in bombshell emails sent by Epstein. The House looks to vote next week on releasing files tied to the late convicted sex offender.
