Overview
- CNN analyst Harry Enten said recent national surveys show the president’s net rating on inflation averaging about 42 points negative.
- He cited NBC at 36 points underwater, CBS at 38, Ipsos-Reuters at 43, CNN at 45, and UMass Amherst at 47.
- Enten said the numbers mark a near 50-point reversal from 2024, when Trump led Kamala Harris on inflation by seven points.
- Among independents, he reported a roughly 70-point swing from about +10 in 2024 to about −60 now on handling prices.
- He warned the slide could endanger Republican House and possibly Senate majorities in the 2026 midterms, as voters rank inflation as their top issue.
