CNN’s Harry Enten Shocked by Trump’s Approval Rating: ‘Holy Smokes’

ENTEN And holy smokes ░░░░░░░░ mean look at what ░░░░░░░░ difference is between now ░░░░░░░░ eight years ago during ░░░░░░░░ first Trump term right ░░░░░░░░ is Trump s net ░░░░░░░░ rating on February 10th ░░░░░░░░ go back to 2017 ░░░░░░░░ was already underwater at ░░░░░░░░ 5 points in the ░░░░░░░░ approval rating that s ░░░░░░░░ minus disapproval What a ░░░░░░░░ eight years makes He ░░░░░░░░ on the positive side ░░░░░░░░ the ledger at plus ░░░░░░░░ points And again it ░░░░░░░░ not just the CBS ░░░░░░░░ poll We re talking ░░░░░░░░ the Gallup poll We ░░░░░░░░ talking about the Ipsos ░░░░░░░░ We are talking about ░░░░░░░░ Pew poll All of ░░░░░░░░ respective pollsters have Trump ░░░░░░░░ a better position now ░░░░░░░░ they did eight years ░░░░░░░░ The bottom line is ░░░░░░░░ are far more likely ░░░░░░░░ say they like what ░░░░░░░░ re seeing now versus ░░░░░░░░ they felt during Trump ░░░░░░░░ first term SIDNER Okay ░░░░░░░░ how rare is this ░░░░░░░░ you going to show ░░░░░░░░ sort of where we ░░░░░░░░ at now and how ░░░░░░░░ it is that this ░░░░░░░░ changed ENTEN Yes So ░░░░░░░░ want you to take ░░░░░░░░ look at this plus ░░░░░░░░ this plus sign right ░░░░░░░░ that to the negative ░░░░░░░░ Being on the plus ░░░░░░░░ of the ledger right ░░░░░░░░ positive net approval territory ░░░░░░░░ positive net approval rating ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Again whoa ░░░░░░░░ whoa whoa Entire first ░░░░░░░░ just 11 days just ░░░░░░░░ days Donald Trump had ░░░░░░░░ net positive approval rating ░░░░░░░░ that to the second ░░░░░░░░ just so far Just ░░░░░░░░ far Every single day ░░░░░░░░ Trump s second term ░░░░░░░░ far he has been ░░░░░░░░ the positive side of ░░░░░░░░ ledger 21 days all ░░░░░░░░ weeks That s already ░░░░░░░░ more days than he ░░░░░░░░ in his entire first ░░░░░░░░ So again this is ░░░░░░░░ another sign that Americans ░░░░░░░░ far more likely to ░░░░░░░░ what they re seeing ░░░░░░░░ his second term than ░░░░░░░░ were during his first ░░░░░░░░ SIDNER He also won ░░░░░░░░ popular vote in his ░░░░░░░░ term So it stands ░░░░░░░░ reason that there would ░░░░░░░░ more people that would ░░░░░░░░ of some of what ░░░░░░░░ s doing Is there ░░░░░░░░ that Americans say about ░░░░░░░░ it is that they ░░░░░░░░ they like him now ░░░░░░░░ than they did back ░░░░░░░░ the first term ENTEN ░░░░░░░░ know I think one ░░░░░░░░ the things that s ░░░░░░░░ important for politicians is ░░░░░░░░ folks to believe what ░░░░░░░░ re saying and that ░░░░░░░░ re keeping their campaign ░░░░░░░░ So I think this ░░░░░░░░ you a pretty gosh ░░░░░░░░ good idea of what ░░░░░░░░ be going on Trump ░░░░░░░░ doing what he promised ░░░░░░░░ do You go back ░░░░░░░░ April of 2017 it ░░░░░░░░ just 46 percent of ░░░░░░░░ Americans who said that ░░░░░░░░ was doing what he ░░░░░░░░ to do Compare that ░░░░░░░░ to February of 2025 ░░░░░░░░ know there was a ░░░░░░░░ show that was on ░░░░░░░░ the 1990s called A ░░░░░░░░ World That is what ░░░░░░░░ going on right now ░░░░░░░░ re living in a ░░░░░░░░ world 70 of Americans ░░░░░░░░ Trump is doing what ░░░░░░░░ promised to do Again ░░░░░░░░ that to April of ░░░░░░░░ when it was just ░░░░░░░░ When Americans are 24 ░░░░░░░░ more likely to say ░░░░░░░░ you re doing what ░░░░░░░░ promised to do it ░░░░░░░░ no wonder that your ░░░░░░░░ approval rating is much ░░░░░░░░ likely to be on ░░░░░░░░ positive side of the ░░░░░░░░ than on the negative ░░░░░░░░ And so far what ░░░░░░░░ re seeing again as ░░░░░░░░ 21 days so far ░░░░░░░░ just 11 days during ░░░░░░░░ entire first term that ░░░░░░░░ has a positive net ░░░░░░░░ rating Quite a different ░░░░░░░░ SIDNER Totally And thank ░░░░░░░░ because it s the ░░░░░░░░ world with you every ░░░░░░░░ Lots of energy no ░░░░░░░░ what the heck is ░░░░░░░░ on ENTEN No coffee ░░░░░░░░ SIDNER: “Very disturbing.”
