CNN data guru Harry Enten couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the latest figures showing President Donald Trump's declining favorability among a group that helped him return to the White House.
During a segment about Trump's planned UFC fight on the White House South Lawn, CNN anchor Kate Bolduan and Enten looked at numbers reflecting how young men feel about the president.
"Younger men, specifically, who are the big fans of UFC and Donald Trump, of course, put in a historic performance with back in the 2024 election for a Republican candidate for president," Enten explained. "He actually won them. He won men under the age of 30 by a point. Look at his net approval rating now."
Enten then presented a graphic showing that Trump's net approval from men under 30 now sits at -55 points. The graphic contrasted the new polling numbers against how he won the 2024 election by +1 point.
"Oh my goodness gracious," Enten commented.
"I was literally about to ask you if that was a typo," Bolduan said.
"No, that was not a typo," Enten assured her. "Me and my crack crew spend many hours on those slides, and we can tell you that is not a typo. That is a 56-point move against the president...he is really struggling with them."
Enten suggested, "Maybe that's part of the reason why he wants to put on an event like this," referring to the UFC fight.
