CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Wednesday highlighted how President Donald Trump remains in his “worst position” ever on inflation, hitting negative polling territory that Joe Biden failed to reach during his time in office.
“And more than that, these are the worst numbers I’ve ever seen for any president,” said Enten, who looked at figures on Trump’s handling of Americans’ No. 1 issue in a segment early last week. (Watch his latest analysis below.)
With gas prices hitting wartime highs and inflation jumping to its highest level in two years, Trump’s net approval rating on an issue he once pledged to eradicate has cratered to -49 points, per the results of a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
That puts Trump six points more “underwater” than Biden ever was, per Enten.
Biden hit a -43 net approval rating on inflation in June 2022, a month that saw the highest inflation during his presidency, he noted.
