US President Donald Trump is angry after one Series of current surveys showed that its popularity among the Americans has continued to decrease. In some cases even at less than 30 %.
New surveys show dramatic popularity loss
Trump even wrote in a wild tirade on Monday On Truth Socialthat certain opinion researchers are “criminals”. And “should be examined for election fraud”.
Trump’s angry reaction to Truth Social: “Criminals and election fraudsters!”
“These are negative criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after winning the elections with a great lead. Much larger than theirs Surveys had trusted me. They lose a lot of credibility and then continue with fraud in the next election cycle, only worse, “wrote Trump.” They suffer from the Trump derangement syndrome. And nobody and nothing can do anything about it. They are sick. They almost only write negative stories about me, no matter how well I cut off (99.9 % at the border, the best number of all time!), And are really the enemies of the people! “
Overview of current survey results on Trump approval
Trump seems to refer to surveys that show that his popularity has dropped sharply just a few months after the beginning of his second term. One published on Saturday and Sunday Opinion poll by Associated Press/NORC and a published on Sunday Opinion poll from Washington Post/ABC News ISOS both showed that Trump’s approval rate is currently 39 percent. Which means a significant decline compared to the status at the beginning of his term.
Further surveys: CNN, New York Times and Fox News with weak numbers
Several other surveys published last week and on weekends showed approval values in the low forty. The Americans – including the Republicans – are increasingly skeptical about his handling of practically all important topics, from immigration to business. One New York Times/Siena college survey that last week Published, a consent rate of 42 percent, while CNN/SSRS set it up at 41 percent and Even Fox News the president sees 44 percent.
Trump’s attacks on the media and survey institutes
Trump complained about a survey by FOX News last week about a survey by Fox News, which shows that his economic policy, which he fell into chaos with his chaotic customs regime, did not very popular. Polls from Reuters and Gallup came to similar results.
Criticism of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch
“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he will get rid of his trump-hate fake conveyor researcher at Foxnews. But he never did it”, ” wrote he on Thursday. “This ‘opinion researcher’ misjudged me and Maga for years. And if he is already there, he should also make changes at the China-friendly Wall Street Journal. That is crap !!!”
Trump’s conspiracy theories about election fraud in surveys
The President was out of her on Monday morning. And added to Truth Social that it was “fake surveys of fake news organizations”. Furthermore, the results presented by the opinion researchers are “unimaginable numbers”. “Unless you are looking for a negative result what they are doing”.
“We have no free and fair press in this country. We have a press that writes bad articles and is very cheating on surveys. It is compromised and corrupt. Sad!” Wrote Trump in one separate post.
Political effects: America’s increasing dissatisfaction with Trump
The president’s wish to punish opinion researchers is not just theoretical nature. In December sued Trump the newspaper Of the Moines Register And the renowned opinion researcher J. Ann Selzer from Iowa because of the publication of a survey that had wrongly predicted a victory of Kamala Harris in this state shortly before the 2024 elections. Trump also has several prominent media companies frivolous complaints covered. And often pushed for comparisons that benefit its companies and trusts.
Despite the threats, it is clear that the Americans are increasingly of the opinion that the country under Trump is heading in the wrong direction. And no so many contributions to Truth Social can disguise the decline in the approval values.
