CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said on Sunday that President Donald Trump is “leader of the pack” in a way that could doom Republicans in this autumn’s midterm elections.

Trump now has the lowest net approval rating on the economy among independent voters of all 21st-century presidents at the same point in their presidency.

Enten said Trump is 48 points underwater, nearly double former President Barack Obama, who was minus 25, and well beyond former President George W. Bush, who was at minus 32.

Just 1 in 4 independents approves of how Trump is handling the economy.

“These are numbers that, if I were a Republican running for Congress, I would be shaking in place because there’s really nowhere to hide if you’re a Republican running for Congress and President Trump is in this bad a shape among independents and Americans overall when it comes to the economy,” he said.

Trump campaigned heavily in 2024 on the economy, vowing to lower prices, especially the cost of essentials such as groceries and gas. Instead, many Americans are still feeling the pinch ― with gas prices now jumping dramatically as a result of Trump’s war with Iran. According to AAA, the average price per gallon in the United States is $3.95, which is up by more than a dollar over the last month.

Enten also showed off some numbers he described in just one word.

“Yikes,” Enten said, as he shared a CBS News poll showing how just 18% of Americans say they’re better off economically under Trump.
