Key Issue Turning Americans Against Trump, CNN Data Shows
'Oof!' said Enten in a segment with CNN's Kate Bolduan.
Enten pointed to five separate polls from mid to late June showing the president's net approval rating (percent approval minus percent disapproval) on immigration ranging from -7 (Fox) to -27 (Gallup).
He described the range of Trump's net approval ratings as 'bad to just downright terrible.'
'The American people have turned against President Donald Trump on what was his best issue,' Enten said.
The segment comes just over a month after Enten spotted how Trump's net approval rating on immigration had shot 'up like a rocket' when comparing polling from early June to data from June 2017.
The president's aggressive immigration policies have intensified over the course of his second term, with massive raids of legal cannabis farms in California last week — one of which saw a worker fall from a roof, later dying from his injuries, as hundreds of others were arrested.
Enten, when asked if there are signs that the polling trend is affecting Trump's overall net approval rating, turned to how the president's net approval rating with Hispanics dropped by double digits over the past few months.
In February, Trump was doing 'pretty gosh darn good for a Republican' as his net approval rating with Hispanics sat at -2, per polling from CBS News/YouGov.
By June, less than a year after his 'historic performance' with Hispanic voters in the fall, that figure fell to -26, per Enten.
'Now he's basically back where he was during his first term, which is quite a low approval rating, one which has brought his overall approval rating down amongst the entire electorate,' Enten explained.
The data analyst went on to point to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement's net approval rating went from averaging 0 during Trump's first term to reaching -17 last month.
He added that the immigration crackdowns haven't just brought Trump down, but they've brought ICE 'down with him.'

Trump challenges AOC and Jasmine Crockett to intelligence test after calling them 'very low IQ'
President Donald Trump lobbed a signature zinger on Tuesday as he paused to speak with reporters before boarding Marine One en route to an artificial intelligence summit. "[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], look, I think she's very nice, but she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ," Trump said, smiling as cameras rolled. He added, "Between her and Crockett, we're going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best."TRUMP DARES AOC TO TRY TO IMPEACH HIM: 'MAKE MY DAY' Trump went on to share his own credentials: "I took my test. I took a real test at Walter Reed Medical Center, and I aced it. I got every one of all those questions right," he told the waiting press. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has ramped up her criticism of President Trump recently, calling him a "rapist" in a post on X following a DOJ update related to Jeffrey Epstein. She appeared to be referencing the 2023 civil trial leveled against Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll. A jury found Trump liable of sexual assault, but not of rape. Critics said she defamed the president with the remark. Back in May, Crockett said "you're terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable" after President Trump called her a "low IQ person" on Meet the Press.

Democrat DA in hot seat after retail theft surges in major American cities
Progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is being slammed by his GOP opponent, Maud Maron, for policies she said give criminals a "get out of jail free card," contributing to a massive surge in shoplifting and organized crime in America's largest city. This comes after retail industry leaders testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday on the dramatic rise in organized retail theft in recent years. According to the most recent data from the National Retail Federation, retailers reported a 93% increase in the average number of shoplifting incidents per year in 2023 compared to 2019, and a 90% increase in dollar loss due to shoplifting during the same period. The study further said that retailers surveyed saw a 26% increase in shoplifting incidents on average from 2022 to 2023. NRF's report said shoplifting has become a problem retailers across the country face on a "daily basis." The report stated that those surveyed experienced an average of 177 shoplifting incidents per day in 2023; however, this number increased to over 1,000, depending on the retail sector. The report listed New York as the second city most impacted by organized retail crime in 2024. Maron, a former Democrat public defender, now running for Manhattan district attorney as a Republican, told Fox News Digital that the "surge in shoplifting" is "not surprising." "Shoplifters, lawbreakers, got the message: You can do this, and you will not go to jail," said Maron, adding, "The get-out-of-jail-free card that Alvin Bragg has been issuing for the last three and a half years is not subtle." "Five years ago, 10 years ago, if you used to go into a store and dump a bunch of retail goods into your bag and then walk out right past the security guard and right past the cashiers, you would be arrested. And if you did it more than once, you wind up going to jail," she said. "Now maybe someone will call the police; maybe someone won't. Maybe the police will arrest you; maybe they won't. Because everybody knows at the end of the line, the prosecutor is not going to prosecute the case." Maron claimed that when Bragg took office in January 2022, he published a day one memo that "explained that there were just whole categories of crime that he was not going to prosecute." "Alvin Bragg ran as a George Soros-backed progressive prosecutor, and his implementing progressive criminal justice policies means that he tries to keep as few people in jail as possible. He tries to prosecute as few people as possible, and he tries to prosecute the lowest possible charge that he can get away with doing," she went on. "You can see there are no consequences. I will not get in trouble if I go into that store and take all of the clothes off of a shelf and walk out with them in broad daylight without even hiding my face. I can do it and get away with it. That's why we see a surge." "Actions either have consequences or they don't. And in Alvin Bragg's New York, stealing doesn't have a consequence," she claimed. In response, Richard Fife, a spokesperson for Bragg's campaign, contested Maron's take on the report, saying that "while there is much more to do, in the last two years, NYPD stats report that burglary is down 11%, robbery is down 8%, grand larceny is down 11%, and murder is down 35%." "Perennial candidate Maud Maron, who recently lost her campaign for the School Board, is once again distorting and misleading to hide her lack of qualifications," said Fife. He said that "when experienced prosecutor Alvin Bragg took office as Manhattan DA in January 2022, NYC—like nearly every city—was still reeling from the COVID national crime spike." "Alvin brought together business owners, law enforcement, and community-based organizations to stop the rise in shoplifting and targeted repeat offenders, prosecuted organized crime rings that resell stolen goods, and improved coordination with local businesses and the NYPD," he claimed. For her part, Maron shot back that "if Alvin Bragg were half as good at prosecuting retail theft as he is at cherry-picking statistics, New Yorkers wouldn't have to ask security to unlock a $6 stick of deodorant just to get through the day." "Bragg can point to handpicked NYPD numbers all he wants, but New Yorkers live the reality: more closed storefronts, more brazen shoplifting, and more fear for working people just trying to commute or run errands," she added. "You don't need a spreadsheet to know Alvin Bragg's criminal-coddling Day One Memo turned every store owner into a sitting duck for the criminals he's emboldened. You just need to walk into a pharmacy or talk to a bodega owner."

Do you want an $18 million bridge for Colorado's 150th birthday? Take Gov. Jared Polis's survey
Gov. Jared Polis wants to hear from you. He's conducting a survey to find out how Coloradans want to celebrate the state's 150th birthday next year. It comes after his idea for an $18 million pedestrian bridge from the Colorado State Capitol to Veterans' Memorial Park sparked an uproar. The governor admits he didn't expect such a visceral reaction when he released renderings of the Colorado 150 Walkway in May. "One thing I was excited about is there was so much passion. But how do you measure that?" he said. He isn't convinced the people who've voiced opposition to the bridge represent where most Coloradans are at so, he's decided to get a bead on public sentiment with a survey. "Rather than just sort of stick our finger in the wind, let's try to get some data behind this," he said. The survey -- at -- not only asks whether Coloradans want the walkway but whether they want it scaled back and, if they don't want it, what they want instead. There's also a question about whether people are more excited to celebrate Colorado's 150th anniversary or the nation's 250th anniversary, which both happen next summer. "We're the kid with the Christmas birthday, right," the governor said. "Our birthday is Christmas. Like, Colorado is the only state where our big anniversaries are on our country's big anniversaries." He says, whatever the survey results are, he will honor them. "We can quickly pivot to something else," he said. "What would be a nightmare to me is if (the survey) comes back and it's like 50.2% to 49.8%." "And then what?" CBS Colorado Your Political Reporter Shaun Boyd asked. "And then we're kind of where we are and we have to make our best judgement on where to go." But he says ultimately, it's not about what he wants. "I happen to be the guy in the seat who helps to orchestrate this birthday event. And yes, President Trump gets to be the guy in the White House who orchestrates our 250th. So whether you like me, whether you like Trump is irrelevant. It's about our birthday, and we want to make sure we observe that appropriately." The survey will be open until midnight Monday. There has been some confusion around the cost of the walkway. The governor says it's $18 million, not $28 million. The other $10 million, he says, is for improvements to the park that will take place over several years. Polis says $8 million of the $18 million will come from the state and he plans to raise the other $10 million.
