CNN Data Guru Exposes ‘Atrocious Numbers’ for Trump

Aaron Schwartz / Getty Images CNN data guru Harry Enten has laid bare what he called “atrocious numbers” for Donald Trump.

Trump has seen some of his lowest approval ratings yet in the past few months, reaching the low 30s.

That is a worrying sign for the Republican Party so close to the midterms, with Enten warning that the president’s dismal approval ratings could help Democrats seize control of both the House and Senate on Nov.

3.

He put Democrats’ chances of capturing both chambers at 67 percent—“the most likely scenario”—pointing to gains in states including Iowa, Alaska, Michigan and Kansas, which has not elected a Democratic senator since 1932.

Enten said part of the reason why the GOP is doing so badly in the polls is because so many of its candidates are so unpopular.

Enten’s analysis found Ohio Republican Sen.

John Husted with a net approval rating of -13, while Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stood at -16 compared with Democratic rival James Talarico.

Paxton’s numbers were particularly striking.

“He is literally the least popular GOP Senate nominee at this point in the cycle, this entire century,” Enten said.

“No one else.

No one else has been as unpopular as Ken Paxton.” “Ugh! This is terrible,” he added.

But Enten argued that Trump himself presents the bigger problem for Republicans.

Enten’s analysis showed that Trump’s net ratings on a range of major issues—from immigration and trade to the war in Iran—are way underwater.
