CNN's Harry Enten presented polling data that showed which of President Donald Trump's Cabinet members was causing him the most problems with the public.
All of the president's top-ranking officials are unpopular, with none of them enjoying approval ratings above 50 percent, but the network's chief data analyst found that Attorney General Pam Bondi was by far the most disliked Trump Cabinet member.
"What a disaster for Pam Bondi, and therefore, if I'm Donald Trump, I'm just going, 'What the heck is going on here?'" Enten said. "You know, take a look here: Google searches for 'free speech,' get this, up like a rocket – up 186 percent versus the five-year average. I went back and looked at every single week, more folks are searching for 'free speech' this week on Google than any week in at least five years, and, of course, not surprisingly, who's the top trending topic with free speech? Well, it's Pam Bondi, of course. People are taking her comments, looking it up, interested in it, and, as you saw from that Wall Street Journal editorial, they ain't liking it too much from the left to the right."
"Pam Bondi was already underwater, and I wouldn't be surprised if she goes underwater more," Enten added.
Bondi has the worst approval rating among Trump's Cabinet officials, at minus-19 percent, which far below the most popular official, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's at minus-7 percent.
"Something that nobody, nobody for the most part, likes how the Trump administration has been handling them, of course, she's been a key leadership role," Enten said. "I mean, look at this: Approval of Trump on the Epstein files. It's just 19 percent, 19 percent of all adults, 67 percent disapprove. Among Democrats, it's 2 percent, independents, 12 percent, and even among Republicans, you can't even get to 50 percent approval, and, of course, this just goes all the way back."
"Who is the biggest pain in the rear end in the Donald Trump administration for him?" Enten added. "Who is he having to answer for? Oftentimes, it's for Pam Bondi. The free speech situation is just another example of that, and we're just going to have to wait and see where it goes. But at this particular point, there's a reason why Pam Bondi is by far the lowest and the least liked member of Donald Trump's cabinet."
