NBC, 22 points below water. Yahoo-YouGov, 20 points below the water. Quinnipiac, 19 points below water. So we’re ranging from -19 points, all the way to -26 points,” Enten stated.

When you are 27 points below water, underwater, with the center of the electorate, with independents, you lose, your party loses,” he stated. “At this point, I don’t really know who to even compare Donald Trump to because he’s just so low, and he’s so low with the center of the electorate,” Enten stated.
