Donald Trump has issued a sharp, combative statement after a fresh wave of approval ratings revealed a stark picture of how many Americans currently view his leadership and political future.
The numbers, released this week as part of a broader national polling snapshot, show Trump’s approval underwater with key voter groups, including independents and suburban voters, even as he maintains strong loyalty among his core base. Analysts reviewing the data say the results highlight widening fatigue rather than a sudden collapse, a distinction emphasized in coverage by political polling experts tracking national sentiment.
Within hours of the figures becoming public, Trump responded with a blistering statement posted to his social media platform, dismissing the polls as “rigged,” “dishonest,” and designed to suppress his supporters. He also accused media outlets and polling firms of coordinating against him, claims echoed repeatedly throughout his post.
Polling averages cited by independent election analysts suggest the numbers align closely with long-term trends rather than representing an outlier. While Trump continues to dominate Republican primary polling, his broader national favorability has remained stubbornly negative for months.
