Trump: My Approval Rating Stands at 59% as Prices Decline

SadaNews - U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his approval rating has reached 59%, considering this a reflection of growing support for his policies, in a post on his platform "Truth Social," where he linked what he described as an improvement in economic conditions to falling energy prices.

Trump wrote: "Approval rating at 59%. Prices are going down alongside declining oil and gas prices. Thank you!" before signing the post with the phrase "President Donald J. Trump."

Trump did not specify in his post the source of the poll on which he based his statement, nor did he provide any details regarding the methodology of the poll or the timeframe in which it was conducted. The latest averages of published national polls indicate lower approval ratings than the figure stated by the President, with a variance between the results of different institutions measuring the American President's popularity.

Trump's post comes as he continues to focus on the economic file, reiterating that his policies have contributed to reducing the cost of living and stabilizing fuel and energy prices, considering that this reflects on inflation rates and consumer spending, while the debate over the effects of the American war on Iran on the domestic economic situation in the United States intensifies.

In recent weeks, the American President has highlighted what he describes as the economic achievements of his administration, particularly concerning oil and gas prices, alongside trade and investment files, at a time when his administration faces significant political and external challenges, most notably the military escalation with Iran.

This statement also comes amid ongoing monitoring of opinion polls that show varying assessments of Trump's performance among public opinion measurement institutions, as the results differ based on the polling methodology and the type of sample, whether it includes likely voters, registered voters, or the general adult population.
