President Donald Trump continues to have his pulse on what Americans really want, and the polls show it.

CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten appeared on the network this week and said that the president’s poll numbers on his handling of crime have skyrocketed since he announced his desire to reopen the notorious Alcatraz prison.

“The idea Alcatraz, you think law and order, you think Donald Trump. I mean, look here. All right. Net approval rating handling crime. What do we have here? We have a positive rating for Donald Trump, even in the most recent polling. Look at that at plus two points,” the data analyst said.

“Far better than Joe Biden, who was so far underwater. My goodness, he was setting records at minus 26 points. You rarely ever see it. So Donald Trump ran in part on law and order. It was one of the reasons that he got elected. And at this particular point, Americans like what they’re hearing from him on the issue of crime. And you see this right here with a plus two net approval rating. Far better than Joe Biden left office with back in 2024,” he said.

“So this is another interesting thing, right? We compare Donald Trump’s first term to now his second term. And what do we see here? We see that Donald Trump’s net approval rating on handling crime is far better now at plus two points. The view of term number two,” Enten said.

“Then we go back to a retrospective approval rating back in March of 2024, in which he was underwater at minus 13 points. So he’s doing 15 points better in terms of how people are viewing his handling of crime now than he was doing back in March of 2024,” the analyst said.

“So when you hear Donald Trump talking about stuff like Alcatraz. Yes, I know it’s late night fodder for a lot of different folks. But what it actually speaks to is Donald Trump focusing the American people’s attention on an issue in which they actually do like what he’s doing. And you see it here with a net positive approval rating of plus two points, which, again, is 15 points higher than what we saw for Donald Trump in term numero uno,” he said.
