President Donald Trump keeps insisting the economic polls are “fake,” but the numbers tell a very different story, and one of CNN’s top data guys just walked through how bad it really looks.

On a recent segment with anchor Kate Bolduan, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said flatly that Trump’s economic standing has cratered as voters deal with stubbornly high prices. The shift, Enten argued, is not some small wobble. It is a collapse.


Bolduan started with the obvious question. “Have polls always been down for Trump when it comes to inflation?” she asked.

“No, no, not at all,” Enten replied. He pointed back to October 2024 when Trump was still seen as the stronger hand on the cost of living. “Go back to October of 2024. Who did Americans trust more on inflation, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? They trusted Donald Trump by nine points on average.”

That cushion is gone because, according to Enten, those same surveys now show Trump’s net approval on inflation “way, way, way underwater, 26 points underwater on his net approval on inflation.”................
