CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten discussed President Trump's recent uptick in polling numbers, highlighting his improved net approval ratings from -8 points to -1. Enten explained that this shift can be attributed largely to a more favorable economic landscape, noting that recession predictions have decreased significantly since late April. With tariffs previously hurting Trumpâs approval, his adjustments are seen as politically beneficial. Despite a still negative approval rating relative to overall perception, Trump's instincts in navigating these challenges have sparked discussions on his evolving political strategy.
Trump's net approval rating sat at -8 points in late April and it is now sitting at -1 points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.
Enten chalked up Trump's polling comeback to the economy, economy, economy, noting that recession predictions have cooled since late April.
In a vacuum, minus 6 isn't good, but in Trumpian terms, against himself, it's actually a pretty good position for him to be in politically.
The tariffs were really hurting him and he backed off and it may be helping him politically now.
