Democrats have been busy crafting a narrative that President Trump is as popular as a pair of wet socks at a country club gathering, claiming his policies lack any real support from the American populace—even from those who voted for him. This narrative has just taken a significant hit thanks to a recent poll that reveals a much brighter picture for the former president and his agenda. Apparently, contrary to the Democratic playbook, a large swath of the American public, including some brave souls from the opposing party, aren’t buying into the negativity.
The latest poll from Harvard CAPS/Harris surveyed a healthy 2,443 registered voters and uncovered that Trump boasts an impressive 52% job approval rating. It seems Trump’s glow is shining through the fog created by Democrats and their lapdog media, with all demographic groups minus Democrats, young adults, and black Americans giving him a thumbs-up. Interestingly, the favorability rating tips in Trump’s direction, with 50% of Americans acknowledging something positive about his presidency.
The new Harvard-Harris poll is good news for President Trump. A rock-solid 52% approval rating, soaring 9 points above water, with 58% saying he’s running circles around Biden’s floundering record.

In stark contrast to Trump’s rising approval, the Democratic Party is getting the cold shoulder, with their own approval ratings plummeting to a mere 36%. This suggests that while voters seem to trust the policies of a man they elected in 2016, the same can’t be said for the party that has seemingly unspooled its credibility like a cat with a ball of yarn. A notable 66% of respondents even suggested that Democrats should hit the brakes on their knee-jerk reactions to Trump’s administration and take a more measured, cautious approach moving forward.
When diving into specific policies, the poll results paint Trump’s agenda in a far more favorable light than Democrats like to project. Voters showed overwhelming support for Trump’s policies, including an impressive 81% backing the deportation of criminal illegal aliens and 76% advocating for increased federal spending oversight. Even more surprising, a notable 69% of respondents believe biological men should not compete in women’s sports—evidence that the Democrats’ feigned outrage on social issues isn’t quite resonating with the wider public.
Of course, Trump isn’t without his detractors—even among his party. A few of his more unconventional ideas, like renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, got a collective eye-roll from many. Similarly, there’s some unease over his handling of inflation and ongoing foreign conflicts. However, the majority still seems to rally behind Trump on core issues like gender definitions and cutting unnecessary federal spending, with numbers showing substantial support across the board.
In the end, the essential takeaway is crystal clear: While Democrats busy themselves with casting shadowy doubts on Trump, the average voter is responding much more positively to his policies. As a chief pollster pointed out, people are cautiously optimistic about Trump, but the stark contrast between him and the Democratic leadership paints a picture of disapproval for the latter. It appears the more the Democrats misinterpret the political landscape, the clearer it becomes that Trump’s agenda is striking a resonant chord with a significant portion of the electorate.
