President Donald Trump's tumbling polls are doing more than hurting the Republican Party domestically, CNN data analyst Harry Enten told anchor Erin Burnett on Tuesday evening — they're even causing left-leaning foreign parties to surge in allied nations that are fed up with Trump's antics.
A clear example was the Liberal Party's rout in Canadian elections this week, mere months after polling had them all but doomed to lose their majority to the Conservatives.
However, Burnett was quick to note, "It's not just Canada. The other country closest to the U.S. is Mexico. How has Trump impacted Mexico since the election?"

"Yeah, it's not just north of the border, it's south of the border as well," said Enten. "The Mexican president. Look at her net approval rating. Look how much it has risen since the November election here in the States. Hello? Up 28 points since November, Claudia Sheinbaum's approval rating. And I will tell you this. More than that, look at her overall approval rating. It is now north of 80 percent ... well, who was the last president who had an approval rating north of 80 percent in this country? It was George W. Bush after 9/11. She has a massive rally-around-the-flag event and her net approval rating and her overall approval rating, way up since Donald Trump took office."
"That is incredible," said Burnett. "Now let's go with some other allies. There's an election coming up soon in Australia. What do you see there?"
"So if we went south, well, let's go way to the east or way to the west, depending on which way you want to go, right?" said Enten. "And what we see there was the Labor Party there looked like an underdog when Trump took office, right? But then all of a sudden, what happened? You see Trump takes office, and hello, the odds that they win the lower house in that election, look at that, up to 89 percent right now ... they were losers, and Trump has turned them into winners. And why is that? Because the conservative coalition in that country tied themselves very much to sort of the wokism type, wokism is bad. And then the Labor were able to say, you know what, the tariffs are bad. Donald Trump put the tariffs in, you can trust us. And we will make sure that Donald Trump doesn't beat us up."
