Hi friends,
Just a quick note for now. I saw a couple of polls, and it made me curious.
Surprise, surprise - poll results are somewhat dependent on who is polling. I never considered it before, just don’t pay much attention to polls. The percentages may be 100% accurate - depending on what demographic they polled. Ohhh….
Another little surprise. CBS Austin published this, Trump's approval rating hits new high as 50% of voters say America is on the right track.
Here’s a chart to give you an idea of the variances. Tells me it’s not worth paying much attention. *
* The difference missing (when it totals less than 100%) are the undecided.
Overview:
March 2025: Trump's approval ratings hovered around the mid-40s, with some polls showing a slight positive net approval. (New York Magazine)
April 2025: There was a noticeable decline in approval ratings, with several polls indicating net negative approval ranging from -18% to -20%.
May 2025: Some polls, like Rasmussen Reports, showed a rebound in approval ratings to 50%, while others, such as Reuters/Ipsos and Gallup, continued to reflect net negative approval. (Reuters)
Trend Analysis
March: Favorability hovered in the mid-40s to low 50s.
April: Approval dropped across multiple polls, reflecting economic uncertainty, market volatility, and media alarmism. (Trump made the announcement about tariffs April 2nd.)
May: Recovery in markets and positive messaging on trade yielded net-positive results in several right-leaning and independent polls.
June (to date): Rasmussen and Morning Consult show Trump above 48%, with some polls citing a surge in optimism about the country's direction.
Despite poll-to-poll variance (common due to sample differences), Trump’s average approval rating has rebounded following a dip in April. The latest data suggests voters are responding positively to signs of economic stability and global negotiations.
It’ll be interesting to see if this positive trend continues.

God bless you, God bless President Trump and team, and God bless America!
Stay calm - President Trump is a businessman who operates strategically, and not everything will make sense at first. His plan to shrink government and Make America Great Again is a process, not an overnight fix. Trust the long game, not just the headlines.
