Trump Boasts About ‘Great’ Poll Numbers as Approval Slumps
The poll numbers, largely, are not great.

Donald Trump appeared to self-soothe on Truth Social Tuesday amid converging crises, writing “‘Great Poll Numbers For Trump!’” Moments earlier, he shared a link to polling by InsiderAdvantage that indicated he had a +10 job approval rating. He seems to have plucked out an outlier—most other polls this week have shown him still stuck in negative territory. The latest Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, out Monday, found Trump’s net approval rating had declined by 1 point to -4. An Economist/YouGov poll from June 13-16 found 54% of respondents disapproved of Trump’s job performance and 41% approved—an overall drop in job approval. It also found a dip in approval of his handling of major issues such as the economy and immigration. A Reuters/Ipsos poll also showed a slight slump in Trump’s approval rating since its May poll. It follows a chaotic two weeks in which the president has had a high-profile breakup from billionaire Elon Musk, ordered federal immigration raids and military deployments in Los Angeles that set off nationwide protests, and is now embroiled in a Republican civil war over the conflict that erupted between Iran and Israel last week.
