CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed some numbers yesterday that are going to blow the minds of Democrats.
Trump’s approval rating on the issue of immigration has ‘gone up like a rocket’ according to Enten, who points out where Trump was on this issue ten years ago as compared to now. It’s like night and day.
He also notes that it’s not just Trump. Republicans in general are far more trusted by the public on this issue.
Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
HARRY ENTEN, CNN CHIEF DATA ANALYST: Yes, you know, if we just take a look at the baseline numbers here, this is Trump’s net approval rating on immigration. It’s gone up like a rocket compared now versus eight years ago during Trump’s first term.
Look at this. In his first term, Trump was way, way, way under water at minus 21 points. But look at this. He’s up over 20 points now in the aggregate.
He is in positive territory at plus one point on his net approval rating. Some other polls even have it a little bit higher than that. There is no issue on which Trump is doing so much better than he was in his first term, more than the issue of immigration.
No wonder The Times has written up the way that he is. Trump is begging for a fight on this because he knows what he’s doing so far is working with the American electorate.
BERMAN: Where does immigration rank on issues for him? How is he doing compared to others?
ENTEN: Yes, so I think what’s so important is it is his top issue so far. And the reason it is his top issue is because take a look at the individual nuggets in here.
Why are people approving of Trump on immigration, approve of these different immigration actions? Well, Trump’s administration’s program to deport those here illegally. Look at this, 54 percent approval.
How about agents searching your hometown for those that they think are here illegally? Again, positive territory here above 50 percent for Donald Trump. So it’s not just on the broad issue of immigration where Trump is doing well. It’s on the specifics.
Here’s the video:
Why Trump’s eager for an immigration fight: His net approval is positive (+1 pt) & up like a rocket vs. term 1.
