HuffPost • • nation
Key Points:
- CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported that President Donald Trump has not had a single poll showing a positive net approval rating since March 29, 2025, marking over 413 consecutive days of negative approval.
- Enten’s aggregate polling data showed Trump's net approval rating declining from +6 in January 2025 to -20 currently, the lowest point of his second term.
- The sharp decline in approval is attributed largely to Trump’s war on Iran and resulting economic issues, including soaring gas prices after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz.
- A recent CNN/SSRS poll revealed that 75% of respondents view the Iran war’s impact on their personal finances negatively, with 76% citing the cost of living as their top economic concern.
- Enten emphasized that despite Trump's legislative efforts, his policies have failed to improve public perception, particularly as voters initially supported him for economic reasons.
