00:00Trump underwater on basically every issue CNN analyst Harry Enten noted,

00:06Trump is polling poorly across most major policy areas,

00:10with particularly weak numbers on handling the recently released Epstein documents.

00:15Enten said President Trump's approval is slipping on almost every issue he campaigned on in 2024,

00:21including the economy and immigration. Donald Trump is underwater on basically

00:26every single issue he ran on in 2024. But the Epstein files, the Epstein case,

00:31are especially dreadful for him, he said. Polling shows Trump has a net negative approval of five

00:37points on immigration, 18 on the economy, and a much larger negative 39 on Epstein-related issues.

00:44My goodness gracious, what Donald Trump has been selling on the Epstein files,

00:48the Epstein case, the American people simply put, have not been buying at all, Enten added.

00:54Enten highlighted a Marist University poll from September, which showed that even Republican

01:00voters appear uneasy. Trump enjoys 87 percent approval within his party, but only 45 percent

01:06support his handling of Epstein-related issues, indicating this matter may affect partisan lines

01:11more than his other controversies. Epstein died in 2019, awaiting trial, and Ghislaine Maxwell is

01:18serving 20 years. Trump's Justice Department faced criticism for claiming no evidence linked

01:23Epstein to high-profile associates, and prolonged media attention increases the political fallout.

01:29The more that this case is in the news, the worse it is for Donald Trump.

01:33It is his worst issue by far, he said. Recently released documents related to Epstein mention

01:39Trump by name, raising questions about his personal and political ties to Epstein,

01:44though they do not directly implicate him in any crimes. The White House has responded sharply,

01:49accusing Democrats and major news outlets of spreading a fake narrative,

01:53intended to embarrass the president ahead of policy battles on Capitol Hill.
