President Donald Trump highlights his administration’s achievements and calls out mainstream media for spreading misleading poll data, as he enjoys strong support from the American people.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to set the record straight, declaring that his 'real polling numbers' are higher than ever. He credited his administration’s successful tax cuts and robust employment figures for this surge in support, and rightfully criticized media outlets for their relentless negativity, calling their poll reports 'fake,' 'crooked,' and 'corrupt.'
While the president did not provide specific data in his post, it’s clear that mainstream media and establishment polling firms continue to push a narrative that underplays Trump’s accomplishments. Recent polls from outlets like AP-NORC, Quinnipiac, and even Fox News claim his approval is around one-third, but these surveys often oversample certain demographics and fail to capture the enthusiasm of Trump’s base.
Analysts have pointed to the conflict with Iran as a factor in shifting support, but the president’s strong stance on foreign policy resonates with many Americans who value national security. The AP-NORC poll’s finding that only 20% favor continued U.S. involvement reflects the public’s wariness of endless foreign entanglements, a position Trump has consistently advocated.
Some polls show a slight dip in Republican support, with CNN reporting a 10-point decline over the past year, but this ignores the president’s enduring popularity among core supporters. Trump’s repeated criticism of the media’s poll manipulation is justified, given the clear disconnect between their numbers and the energy seen at rallies and online. The gap between media narratives and the president’s message highlights why so many Americans distrust the mainstream press.
