Trump shares selective polls online as debate over approval ratings continues

President Donald Trump has recently shared a series of online polls on Truth Social, presenting them as evidence of strong public support, despite broader national surveys showing more mixed or negative views on his performance. Some of the polls he highlighted came from an X account promoting selective data, including older Wall Street Journal findings that emphasized favorable Republican numbers while omitting wider voter dissatisfaction with the economy and leadership. Critics noted that the original context of the WSJ poll pointed to overall economic unhappiness and weak approval ratings. Trump also amplified results linked to pollster John McLaughlin, a long-time adviser whose surveys suggested majority backing for certain policy positions, including military action related to Iran. However, independent polling paints a different picture. Recent NBC News data shows about 63% of adults disapprove of Trump’s performance, with only around one-third approving of his handling of key issues such as inflation and foreign policy. Quinnipiac University polling similarly indicates that a majority of voters oppose U.S. military involvement in Iran, highlighting a gap between partisan-aligned polling and broader national sentiment. Overall, the contrasting data underscores a widening divide between selectively shared online polls and more comprehensive national surveys measuring public opinion.
