President Trump's net approval rating on inflation hit -65 points in AP-NORC's cost of living poll Thursday. CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten points out that this rating is the record low not only for Trump, but for any president ever. Enten also observes that Trump is the first president to poll below -50% net approval on inflation ever: 'Donald Trump is underwater... among Democrats, independents, and Republicans as well.' The segment features Abby Phillip's 'NewsNight' panel debating Trump's historic unpopularity on this key issue. They discuss the implications for his presidency and the upcoming midterms, where affordability is a top voter concern. The panel also explores how this polling compares to previous presidents and what it means for Trump's economic messaging. With inflation remaining a critical issue, the data suggests widespread dissatisfaction with the president's handling of the economy. This analysis provides valuable insights into the political landscape. Watch the full discussion for more.
