Overview
- CNN's Harry Enten, in a Monday segment, said new polls from NBC, CBS, Ipsos-Reuters, CNN, and UMass Amherst put Trump 36 to 47 points underwater on inflation.
- He said the surveys average about 42 points negative, which he called a near 50-point drop from Trump's 2024 edge on the issue.
- Among independents, he cited a move from a 10-point advantage in 2024 to roughly 60 points underwater now, a swing of about 70 points.
- Enten warned that if these ratings hold, Republicans could lose the House majority and possibly the Senate in the midterms.
- Polls show voters rank inflation as their top concern, reflecting higher costs for gas, groceries, and housing that strain family budgets.
