Trump Claims Record Approval as Polls Show Decline

President Trump touts unprecedented popularity despite multiple polls indicating his approval ratings are underwater early in his second term.

Multiple national polls, including CNN, Gallup, and Reuters, show President Trump's approval ratings below 50%, with disapproval ranging from 48% to 53%.
Trump has falsely claimed approval ratings as high as 70%, a figure not supported by any publicly available data.
Economic concerns, once a strong point for Trump, are now a significant weakness, with inflation cited as a key factor driving disapproval.
A majority of Americans believe Trump has overstepped his authority and are critical of his handling of key issues like high prices and tariffs.
Experts and commentators note that Trump's historically low early-term approval ratings may hinder his ability to push his legislative agenda.
