CNN’s Harry Enten Says This Group ‘Turned Against’ Trump In A ‘Massive’ Way

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Monday broke down how Latinos — a group that played a key role in Donald Trump’s 2024 election win — have soured on the president since the early weeks of his second term.

“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office in the minds of Latinos, it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” he said.

Enten — citing CBS News/YouGov polling — highlighted how the president’s net approval rating (percent who approve minus those who disapprove) among Latinos dropped from -2 points in early February to -34 in late October.

He stressed that the average poll shows “very similar” shifts in Trump’s net approval rating with Latinos.

Earlier in the segment, Enten turned to an aggregate of polling showing that Trump has a net approval rating of -38 points among Latino voters when it comes to his handling of immigration.

This marks a 36-point shift from last year when Latino voters “trusted” then-Vice President Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump (+2 points), per Enten.

“Now on the issue of immigration, Latinos despise, hate Donald Trump, 38 points underwater. In their mind, he is doing something absolutely wrong when it comes to immigration,” he said.

He later pointed to how Democratic gubernatorial candidates this year notably fared better in the highest percentage Latino areas of New Jersey (52-point shift toward the party in Union City) and Virginia (22-point shift toward the party in Manassas Park) compared to last year’s presidential election.

“The idea of what happens to Donald Trump won’t impact down ballot. If you’re a Republican, you believe that, that is fantasyland,” Enten declared.

“What is happening to Donald Trump absolutely impacted what happened down ballot. Part of it is turnout, but part of it is persuasion. Latinos running away from Republicans, running to the Democrats. A big reversion to the mean.”
