CNN data analyst Harry Enten expressed astonishment during a Sunday discussion on the 'Newsroom' program, highlighting a recent poll revealing that 79% of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump's handling of gas prices during his second term. Conducted in late July, the poll incorporates the impacts of Trump's Iran conflict. Enten emphasized that the public's disdain for Trump on gas prices reaches historic levels, surpassing the disapproval rates of any of his living predecessors. For instance, former President Joe Biden's peak gas price disapproval was 72% during the COVID-19 pandemic, while George W. Bush's reached 75% during the War on Terror. Enten noted that Trump's disapproval rating on gas prices is unprecedented, indicating a significant shift in public sentiment. Additionally, 52% of Republicans disapprove of Trump's gas price management, a figure that could influence midterm elections. Enten warned that this disapproval could negatively impact Republican candidates, as voters may distance themselves from Trump's policies. The article underscores the growing political and public backlash against Trump's economic decisions, particularly regarding energy costs and international conflicts.
