Trump Claims His Job Approval Is 60%
Polls show Trump with 38.8% approval overall and weak support among independents, women and non-MAGA Republicans as midterm concerns grow.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump dismissed recent polling as "fake" during an interview with The Washington Examiner, challenging a RealClearPolitics average showing 38.8% approval and 60.4% disapproval.
- Trump specifically attacked The New York Times for previously citing Wedgewood Polls, a firm that admitted fabricating data, though the newspaper clarified it excluded those results from its approval calculations.
- National surveys paint a grim picture: Reuters and Ipsos found 31% approval, while Pew Research Center reported just 30% of Americans approved of his performance.
- CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten called Trump's polling situation "a five-alarm Trumpster fire," yet Trump insisted his actual support remains near 60% based on MAGA Republican backing.
- Historically, low job approval ratings signal poor midterm performance for a president's party, and Trump enters the election as one of the least popular leaders in American history.
