Trump Approval Hits Record Low at 33% Amid Iran War

Is this showing voters are abandoning Trump or is it, in fact, a historic success buried by media spin?

The Spin


Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's disapproval rating has hit an all-time high, and the reason is obvious — an unpopular war, $4-per-gallon gas and a $2.1 trillion deficit. Rather than addressing real affordability concerns, the GOP recycles tiresome Islamophobia and blames Biden nearly 600 days after he left office. The Trump show has run its course, and voters are done paying admission for nothing.

Pro-Trump narrative

The polls against Trump are flat-out fabrications pushed by a dishonest media with an agenda. The real numbers reflect a record-breaking economy, historic foreign policy wins, including the denuclearization of Iran, and a secure border that Americans want. Dismissing these achievements as failures is exactly the kind of crooked spin that's cost the media all credibility.
