President Trump’s approval ratings continue to defy expectations, even in the face of persistent bias from many polling organizations. The latest Gallup Poll reveals a remarkable 90% approval among Republicans, a testament to his enduring strength within his base – but that number only scratches the surface of a far more significant story.
Beneath the headline figure lie deeper indicators of support, extending beyond the traditional Republican coalition. It’s crucial to remember that Gallup has historically leaned away from accurately representing the Republican electorate, often sampling populations less likely to vote conservative.
A closer examination of Gallup’s methodology reveals a striking lack of adaptation since 2020, despite dramatic shifts in the American electorate. Over 2.4 million new voters have registered as Republican across 30 states, fueled by enthusiasm for the President and his agenda.
Conversely, the Democratic Party has lost over 2.1 million registered voters since 2020, creating a net swing of 4.5 million voters towards the Republicans. This seismic shift, occurring during Trump’s era, underscores the growing momentum behind his movement.
Yet, Gallup’s data continues to operate under outdated assumptions, failing to account for this dramatic realignment. The methodology still reflects a belief in the Democratic Party’s historical dominance, a notion increasingly detached from reality.
Furthermore, Gallup consistently underestimates the higher turnout rate of Trump voters compared to their Democratic counterparts, and doesn’t fully account for the shrinking number of moderate Republicans. This inherent bias artificially depresses the President’s approval numbers.
This flawed methodology explains why many pollsters have repeatedly mispredicted election outcomes, overstating the Democratic share of the electorate. It’s not simply incompetence; it suggests a deliberate attempt to shape public perception.
By clinging to outdated models, these pollsters rely on their reputations to project a narrative that contradicts the actual political landscape, feeding into a broader, often negative, portrayal of the President’s agenda.
During his campaigns, President Trump recognized this bias and commissioned his own pollsters, employing more accurate methodologies that consistently outperformed the “reputable” firms on election day. The claim of objectivity among these established pollsters is increasingly a misnomer.
The prevailing worldview within many establishment institutions – a neoliberal and globalist perspective – struggles to comprehend the appeal of policies like tariffs and border security, leading to inherent skepticism and biased reporting.
The truth is, the world is demonstrably better than it was a year ago. President Trump’s historic comeback victory in 2024, building on previous successes, has ushered in a period of unprecedented economic growth.
The American economy, revitalized under the second Trump administration, has regained its position as the global economic powerhouse. Even a recent government shutdown couldn’t derail the momentum, with the third quarter of 2025 experiencing significant GDP growth fueled by strategic tariffs.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill,” cementing tax cuts and investing in infrastructure, has ignited an economic renaissance, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. More millionaires and billionaires were created in 2025 than in any previous year in American history.
This prosperity stems from a renewed focus on American interests, recalibrating trade deals to prioritize domestic manufacturing and investment. This shift is fostering a long-dormant culture of optimism, reminiscent of the nation’s most prosperous eras.
Decades of stagnation, perpetuated by ideologies that insisted America’s best days were behind it, have finally been overcome. Institutions like the legacy media and academia, steeped in outdated beliefs, are now facing an existential crisis.
Their long-held assumptions have been proven demonstrably false, leaving them scrambling to reconcile with a new reality. While introspection is hoped for, pragmatism suggests a full reckoning may be unlikely.
Regardless, their past failures should disqualify them from offering credible commentary on political or social matters. This brings us back to the flawed methodologies of pollsters like Gallup, who continue to underestimate the President’s support and undermine his credibility.
President Trump has proven himself a successful leader, navigating trials and tribulations to deliver tangible results. His record speaks for itself, yet it remains consistently undervalued by pollsters clinging to outdated assumptions and biased methodologies.
