CNN polling analyst Harry Enten recently boiled down Donald Trump’s current favor with the American people to one word: “awful.”

At this point in his presidency, Trump has a plus-one net approval rating, and Enten explained that the only president in history who has had a worse number than that at this juncture is Trump himself during his first term, when he was polling at minus-eight.

“He’s making gains, but he’s doing worse than everybody else. The average president at this point, get this, plus 27 points on their net approval rating. Donald Trump is doing historically awful. The only person he beats is, again, himself from term number one.”

Enten also said Trump is polling almost 20 points less than the average president on the economy, which his colleague reminded viewers was the issue “he was most elected to fix, and he said he would do it on day one.”

“He beat himself on overall, but on the economy, he can’t even beat himself,” Enten said. “Again, this is historically the worst going back in polling at this point in a presidency, the net approval rating on the economy. He’s right now at minus four points. In term number one, he was at plus-eight points. Historically, the average is plus 15 points.”

“On net approval rating, he is historically doing awful, awful, awful, weak, weak, weak – and on the issue on which he was elected to, of course, fix, he is doing historically awful. This is not good. If this number holds, you can guarantee his overall approval rating will go down and it could take his entire presidency with him.”

Enten predicted tariffs will only make Trump more unpopular, as a majority of Americans oppose them.
