President Trump has suffered a devastating plunge in his approval ratings,

according to CNN data guru Harry Enten.

Enten, speaking on Inside Politics Sunday, said that Trump’s approval

rating has swung from +6 in January to -12 in December.

“Look, 2025 was not exactly the best year for the president of the United States.

He started off in pretty gosh darn good territory, right? Trump’s net approval

rating in January, he was 6 points above water, pretty much above where he was

during his entire first term in office. But look what happens come December—12

points underwater. Way, way down there. That is an 18-point decline during the

course of the year,” Enten said.

CNN’s chief data analyst revealed that Trump’s ranking of independent voters

has caused the massive drop. “Now, what has driven Donald Trump’s decline in

his net approval rating? Well, it’s independents. That is the name of the game,

baby,” he said, before crunching the numbers.

Enten said the trend suggested Trump’s party was headed for significant losses

in the midterm elections. “Based upon history, it doesn’t look too good for the

man in charge of the White House right now,” he said.
