An InsiderAdvantage poll shows President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has surged to 55 percent approve while only 44 percent disapprove and a mere one percent remain undecided. “These results are not a surprise,” InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery writes. “Other pollsters who accurately polled election cycles where President Trump’s name appeared on the ballot have been showing his approval ratings moving into the fifty-percent-plus range.” This is accurate. Currently, Harvard-Harris has Trump at 47 percent approval. He sits at 49 percent approval with Rasmussen. Even Morning Consult shows him at 48 percent. In a previous InsiderAdvantage survey (conducted with Trafalgar...

If we’re serious about saving America, we need a leader who’s willing to be hated by the pundits, pollsters, and even some short-term-minded Americans to do what’s right.The country has been suffering for decades economically, culturally and politically — and the propaganda press wants you to care about approval ratings. As President Donald Trump marks his first 100 days in office, headlines scream about “record-low” poll numbers. But here’s the thing: polls don’t fix nations — leaders do. The same media that tried to convince us seven months ago that then-Vice President Kamala Harris had a legitimate chance to take...

Which is more plausible: the lying media has suddenly discovered accurate polling data? Or Trump supporters are not being polled?The left is having a dickens of a time trying to take down President Donald Trump. Activist judges have not deterred him. Unfocused protests have not slowed him down. And now the left is recycling its highly unsuccessful psyop, bad polling, as it tries to convince supporters that finally — this time they are almost certain — Trump is losing the confidence of average Americans.Just look at the polls, they beg. The media has learned nothing in its many years of...

President Trump’s job approval rating has surged to its highest number since he was inaugurated in January. Currently, Trump’s job approval rating sits at 54 percent, with only 46 percent disapproving. This ties his all-time high this year (in this poll) and is a five-point boost in approval since late March. This poll of 1,002 registered voters was taken between April 10-14, the days during the so-called stock market turmoil after the president instituted the tariff increases he ran on, which appear to have brought dozens of countries to the negotiating table. “For all the events of the past ten...

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating rose four points during Tariff Week, from 49 percent to 53 percent. The poll was taken by DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners of over 1,000 registered voters between March 31 and April 3. Donald Trump’s four-point jump in job approval was not the only surprise. Since March 7, Trump’s job approval from young voters between 18 and 29 jumped 13 points. Among Independents and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six-point increase.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher warned Democrats that their party may face the same fate as the Whigs if they don’t embrace deregulation. During Friday’s panel discussion, Maher sounded the alarm on the NBC poll that showed Democrats had only a 27% approval rating, a record low for the party. “I’ve never seen one this bad,” Maher reacted. Maher later cited the American Redistricting Project, which projected that Democrats will lose congressional seats in California, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Oregon by 2030 while Republicans will gain seats in Texas, Florida, Idaho and Utah. “I mean, this looks...

Three months into his second term, President Trump hit the highest approval rating he’s ever had as commander-in-chief — while more Americans say the country is on the right track than at any point since 2004, a new poll found. That’s the good news, according to an NBC News Poll released Sunday. The bad news is that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% said they disapprove of his handling of the economy — the first time he’s lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s poll. Even so, the survey found that voters generally...

Americans are far happier with the economic leadership of President Trump than they were under Joe Biden just a few months ago, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday. While American households are still laboring under the weight Biden-era inflation, the worst in forty years, their opinion of the president’s handling of the economy has surged higher with the changing of the guard at the White House. Biden left office in January with just 33 percent of Americans saying they approved of his handling of the economy, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS in January. A super-majority of...

The American public’s view of Donald Trump’s presidency and the direction he’s leading the country is more negative than positive just ahead of his first formal address to Congress since returning to office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. The survey finds that across three basic measures of Trump’s performance on the job – his approval rating, whether he has the right priorities and whether his policies are taking the country in the right direction – the negative side outpaces the positive. Overall, 52% disapprove of Trump’s performance in office, with 48% approving, about the same as...

President Trump holds a 52 percent approval rating in after his first month back in the Oval Office, polling shows. A Harvard CAPS/Harris survey found that 33 percent strongly approved of the president’s job performance, and 19 percent somewhat approved. Roughly 43 percent disapproved, with most expressing strong disapproval, and another 5 percent were undecided. Trump’s numbers differed starkly across party lines; about 9 in 10 Republicans approved of his handling, and nearly 8 in 10 Democrats disapproved. Independents were almost exactly split. “This is a good start for Trump, though many of his policy initiatives are more popular [than]...

President Donald Trump has Democrats on the ropes with his surging support from African Americans, prompting a poll to declare that “black men love Trump.” In a new Cygnal survey shared with Secrets, Trump has a shocking 42% approval rating from black men, a massive edge over any past Republican president. Brock McCleary, Cygnal vice president of polling, told Secrets, “Forty-two percent of black men approving of Trump’s job so far is no small thing. Unlike Democrats’ approach previously, this isn’t about placation or offering new attractive policies with no follow-through. His popularity and approval surges because he does the...

Far-left CBS News got some bad news from its latest poll. Currently, 53 percent of the public approves of the job President Donald Trump’s doing and 59 percent approve of his deportation of illegal aliens. What’s most fascinating about this particular poll is that it’s not a poll of voters. Rather, it’s a poll of 2,175 U.S. adults. The GOP tends to poll better with tighter screening for registered voters and likely voters. There is nothing wrong with an “adults” poll, but knowing the fake news artists at CBS News, it’s not unreasonable to assume they asked for an “adults”...

Not only did President-elect Donald Trump handily win the election on Nov. 5, he also won the popular vote with over 77 million votes. Now on top of that, most Americans are also approving of his transition moves. This is despite the efforts of many in the media/many Democrats trying to tank his nominees. Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman · Follow WOW—CNN just released a poll showing that 55% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling the transition. You know they hate giving Trump positive press. It seems once again, just like with the election, Americans are tuning out the...

Unless something changes over the next 50-or-so days, Joe Biden will skulk out of the White House with a personal-record low job approval rating and Donald Trump will enter office with a record high. “The first post-election … poll finds President-elect Donald Trump’s favorability rating at 54%, a six-point increase from his pre-election favorability of 48%,” pollster Emerson College reported Tuesday. Meanwhile, “Biden has a 36% job approval rating, a four-year low for the president in Emerson polls, while his disapproval rating remains steady at 52%.”

Donald Trump never broke 50% job approval ratings in his first term, but he's smashing that barrier now... and the Senate had better pay attention. He's not in office, so the visible job he has is largely putting together his cabinet and establishing his strategy, but voters are loving it. 54% approve, and only 40% disapprove. This indicates that a substantial portion of voters who voted against him are warming up to him. https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/HHP_Nov2024_KeyResults.pdf A high initial approval rating normally doesn't mean much more than some of the people who voted against a new president are hopeful that the unfamiliar...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s approval rating curiously increased after she entered the presidential race in July, an NBC News poll found this week, causing political pundits to question why. Before Harris joined the race, she held the lowest net negative rating (-17) for a vice president in U.S. history. Her approval rating was only 28 percent in January 2024, and it only improved to 32 percent in July, the month President Joe Biden stepped aside. Harris’s approval rating is now 48 percent, an increase of 16 points in just two months.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has seen his approval ratings plunge by 16 points in the past two weeks amid criticism of his handling of widespread anti-mass migration uprisings and the decision by his government to implement major cuts to winter fuel benefits. Just one month after sweeping to power in last month’s general election, it appears that the honeymoon is over for Sir Keir Starmer. According to the latest survey from Opinium, the left-wing leader has seen his net approval rating fall to just 3 per cent, down from 19 per cent two weeks ago, representing a decline...

President Joe Biden on Wednesday set the record for the worst net approval rating of any president 1,240 days into office dating back more than 70 years, according to FiveThirtyEight’s calculations. As of 11:31 a.m., Biden’s average approval rating on the ABC News-owned polling aggregator’s website registered at a mere 37.6 percent, while an average of 57 percent disapproved of his performance.

U.S. President Joe Biden's public approval rating this month fell to its lowest level in almost two years, tying the lowest reading of his presidency in a warning sign for his reelection effort, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed. The four-day poll, which closed on Monday, showed just 36% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance as president, down from 38% in April. It was a return to the lowest approval rating of his presidency, last seen in July 2022. While this month's drop was within the poll's 3 percentage point margin of error, it could bode poorly for Biden as he...
