Overview

• President Donald Trump has called for investigations into pollsters, accusing them of election fraud and publishing fake approval ratings.
• Recent polls from ABC/Washington Post and The New York Times show Trump’s approval at 39% and 42%, respectively, marking the lowest for a president at this stage in 80 years.
• Trump has labeled pollsters and media organizations as suffering from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' and branded them 'the enemy of the people.'
• Independent polling organizations, including Pew Research Center and Real Clear Politics, corroborate the low approval ratings, with no evidence of fabrication by major outlets.
• Despite overall disapproval, Trump retains strong support from his Republican base, particularly on issues like border security and tariffs.
