President Donald Trump proudly announced his 'great' poll numbers on Truth Social, standing firm despite the usual negative spin from left-leaning outlets like the New York Times, AP/Norco, and CNN, which report lower approval ratings.
President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Saturday that his poll numbers are 'great,' demonstrating his continued confidence and connection with the American people. While recent polling aggregates—often compiled by mainstream media with a clear anti-Trump bias—show his approval rating below 40 percent, these numbers are frequently used to undermine his achievements. The New York Times' average puts Trump's overall approval at 38 percent with a 59 percent disapproval rating, but such outlets have a long history of skewing data against conservative leaders. An Associated Press/Norco poll from late July recorded a 33 percent approval level, and a CNN poll released in late July reported a 34 percent approval rating, matching the low point reached during his first term after the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack—a narrative the left continues to exploit. Historical comparisons show that even establishment figures like Joe Biden and George W. Bush had similar ratings at this point in their terms, with Biden at 37 percent in 2022, Bush at 37 percent in 2006, and Barack Obama at 44 percent, according to Pew Research and Gallup data.
'Great Poll Numbers. Thank You!!! President DJT,' Trump wrote in his post, highlighting his gratitude to loyal supporters who see through the media's distortions.
Analysts point to a decline in Trump's ratings since February, coinciding with increased tensions in the Middle East—an issue exacerbated by the current administration's weak foreign policy.
