Trump Hits Record 55% Approval in New Poll
President Donald Trump has reached his highest approval rating yet—55 percent—according to a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners survey. The result marks a six-point jump since July, silencing critics and energizing his supporters.
Analysts attribute much of the rise to Trump’s tough law-and-order stance. His August 11 executive order sending federal troops to Washington, D.C. produced dramatic results. Within weeks, violent crime fell 39 percent, robberies dropped 57 percent, and car thefts fell 35 percent compared to the same period last year. While the move drew criticism, a majority of Americans appear to back it.
Strong economic data also played a role. The U.S. economy expanded 3.3 percent in the second quarter, while inflation remained steady. Both consumer spending and personal incomes rose, fueling optimism across households.
