Overview
- CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten presented pooled CNN polling on Monday showing President Trump’s net approval among Hispanic men fell from a 10-point advantage in 2024 to about -41 today, a roughly 51-point reversal.
- Enten highlighted an even larger collapse on the economy, reporting Hispanic men’s economic approval shifted from Trump +11 in 2024 to about -49 now, a move analysts tie to rising prices, tariff effects and policy decisions.
- The group’s party lean on the generic congressional ballot flipped sharply from Republicans +8 in 2024 to Democrats +20 in current averages, a 28-point swing that Enten warned could hurt Republican incumbents in competitive districts.
- Enten stressed that disapproval does not automatically equal identical vote changes but said the scale of these shifts makes electoral consequences likely and could shape targeted campaigns in states like Arizona, Nevada and Texas.
- Coverage of the data notes standard caveats about turnout, regional differences and translating approval into votes, and it points to immigration enforcement and economic trends as the main plausible drivers behind the rapid change.
