Overview

• CNN analyst Harry Enten, citing aggregated polling that includes Quinnipiac data, said Bondi is the lowest-rated cabinet official at a net minus-19.
• Enten reported that weekly Google searches for "free speech" jumped 186% versus the five-year average, with Bondi the top associated topic.
• Bondi later told Axios that freedom of speech is "sacred" and said the Justice Department would not impede that right.
• The same polling shows other senior officials are underwater, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (-7), Marco Rubio (-10), Kristi Noem (-11) and Pete Hegseth (-13).
• Approval of the administration’s handling of the Epstein files is 19% with 67% disapproving, a dynamic Enten said makes Bondi a continuing political liability.
