CNN analyst Harry Enten warns that President Donald Trump's approval ratings have reached the lowest levels ever recorded for a second-term president, with net approval standing at -22.This surpasses the previous records of Presidents Barack Obama (-8) and George W.Bush (-20) during their second terms.
Independent voters are the primary drivers of this decline, with Trump's net approval among them at -45, breaking Richard Nixon's former record by 8 points.Enten highlights data from Kalshi, an online betting platform, indicating a 70-point surge in odds that U.S.gas prices will exceed $4.10 per gallon.This surge follows a 15% oil price spike linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict, which has pushed gas prices back above $4.
The analysis underscores growing public dissatisfaction with Trump's policies, particularly his Iran strategy, which critics argue endangers American troops.
The article also notes the broader political implications of these declining approval ratings, suggesting a potential crisis for Trump's re-election prospects.
