Is the mainstream media deliberately skewing President Trump’s approval ratings to undermine his administration? Despite CNN and other liberal networks claiming declining approval, trusted pollsters show the President’s standing with Americans remains strong or is even improving since his return to the White House.
At a Glance
- President Trump’s job approval rating is at 45%, close to his first post-inauguration rating of 47%
- Atlas polling, considered the most accurate for the 2024 election, reports Trump’s approval has increased since taking office
- Only polls from liberal-leaning outlets like CNN, Reuters, and Quinnipiac show significant drops in approval
- 93% of Republicans approve of Trump’s job performance, showing strong party support
- Gallup reports a 12-point surge in Congressional approval to 29% since Republicans gained control
Trump Maintains Strong Approval Despite Media Narrative
President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands firm at 45% according to recent Gallup polling, showing remarkable consistency when compared to his first post-inauguration rating of 47%. This stability comes despite relentless negative coverage from mainstream media outlets desperately pushing a narrative of declining support for the president.
The strength of Trump’s position is further evidenced by his issue-specific approval ratings, which closely mirror his overall numbers. Americans give the president 46% approval on immigration, 44% on foreign affairs, 42% on foreign trade, and 42% on the economy. His handling of the ongoing situations in Ukraine and the Middle East sits at 40%.
A deeper look at the data reveals the extraordinary level of support President Trump enjoys among Republicans, with a staggering 93% approving of his job performance. This near-unanimous backing from his base demonstrates the unshakeable loyalty Trump commands among conservatives, even as only 37% of independents and a mere 4% of Democrats express approval.
Liberal Media’s Polling Deception Exposed
While the President’s approval remains solid in reliable polling, liberal media outlets appear determined to paint a different picture. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and others have been caught cherry-picking polls from leftist sources to fabricate a false narrative of declining support for President Trump.
“Rachel Maddow just proved once again that she’s the most dishonest person on TV,” Townhall reported.
According to conservative analysis, only polls from traditionally Democratic-friendly outlets like Quinnipiac, Reuters, and CNN show significant dips in Trump’s approval—a pattern that suggests inherent bias rather than accurate measurement. These same organizations have repeatedly gotten elections wrong, yet continue to push polling that aligns with their liberal agenda.
Most Accurate Pollster Shows Trump’s Rising Popularity
In direct contradiction to the liberal media narrative, Atlas polling—widely recognized as the most accurate pollster for the 2024 election—reports that President Trump’s approval has actually increased since his return to the White House. This upward trend demolishes the left’s desperate attempts to manufacture a “buyer’s remorse” storyline among American voters.
“Meanwhile, the most accurate pollster for the 2024 election—Atlas—reported that Trump’s approval has only grown since he took office,” Townhall noted.
The Atlas findings also reveal that President Trump and Vice President JD Vance currently rank as the most favorably viewed politicians in the United States, further undermining the credibility of negative polling pushed by mainstream outlets. Americans are clearly rallying behind the administration’s America First agenda despite the media’s attempts to suggest otherwise.
