- President Donald Trump's approval ratings on inflation are considered "dismal" and "historically bad," according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.
- An Ipsos poll in May showed Trump 50 percentage points underwater on inflation, improving slightly to minus-47 points in June.
- Enten noted Trump's inflation disapproval "takes the cake" when compared to Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter, who had similar low ratings during their presidencies.
- These poor poll numbers are a concern for Republicans, especially when considering the upcoming midterm elections.
- Despite Trump's claims, the Labor Department reported inflation slowed in June, with the annual rate declining to 3.5 percent, though it remains above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target.
