Overview

• During a CNBC interview with Joe Kernen, Trump repeatedly called CNN data analyst Harry Enten “Harry Emden” while defending his 71 percent approval claim.
• Enten appeared later on CNN NewsNight with guest host John Berman to correct the misnaming and review Trump’s polling figures.
• His analysis showed the president’s net approval stands at –9 points, a reversal from +6 points at the start of his second term.
• Comparing second-term presidents at the same juncture, Enten noted only Richard Nixon had fared worse in the polls.
• Using humor to underscore the misstep, Enten joked about legally changing his name or earning a nickname like “Low Energy Harry.”
