‘Really Staggering!’ CNN Hammers Trump Over ‘All-Time Career Low’ Poll — ‘This Is NOT an April Fool’s Joke!’

CNN anchor John Berman and CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten hammered President Donald Trump over the “really staggering” results of a new CNN poll that shows an “all-time career low!”

Enten delivered news that Trump was very happy about last week, but a new CNN poll follows the trend of deadly numbers for Trump since his second term began.

On Wednesday’s edition of CNN News Central, Berman noted the president’s record 31% low approval on the economy, and Enten twisted the knife with numbers on inflation that are worse than those of former Presidents Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter:

JOHN BERMAN: All right, new this morning, a brand new CNN poll finds that the president’s approval on the economy has fallen to an all-time career low for him of 31%!

It has never been lower for President Trump.

This only begins to tell the story, though, of the president problems on the economic. With us now, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.

And as I said, this just scratches the surface because there are some other numbers here that are really staggering!

CNN SENIOR DATA CORRESPONDENT HARRY ENTEN: This is no April Fool’s joke! This is a disaster!

All these numbers are a disaster for President Trump. I mean, let’s just talk about inflation, which is the name of the game.

Okay, highest disapprovals on inflation about this time in a presidency.

Whenever you have Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter on the board and you’re matching them or slightly exceeding them when it comes to inflation, you know it’s bad.

Look at this. 72% in our latest CNN poll say they disapprove of the president on inflation. Joe Biden, an average of polls at this point in his presidency, 68%.

And Jimmy Carter, whose presidency, just like Joe Biden’s, was absolutely wrecked by inflation, was at 66%, about at this time in his presidency back in 1978.

Donald Trump, even worse than they are.

So you see it here, and the one word is, or phrase I might say is, oh my goodness gracious, what a disaster!

JOHN BERMAN: It just what’s so interesting here is inflation was way way higher yes so they just right now voters don’t like what the president is doing on it even if it isn’t as high as it was at these other times.

What about gas prices?

CNN SENIOR DATA CORRESPONDENT HARRY ENTEN: Which of course is part of this inflation picture, only making this number climb ever higher. How about disapprove on gas prices? Okay, disapproval ratings on gas price. Biden’s worst number, his worst number in any poll I could find, was 72% disapprove of Joe Biden on gas crisis.

Donald Trump right now in our CNN poll, 76%, 76%! Three in four Americans disapprove of the way that Donald Trump is handling gas prices.

And again, the gas prices were higher during Biden, but the increase has been so dramatic
