Trump Boasts About Poll Showing His Approval Ratings Remaining Still Despite ICE Taking a Hit

President Donald Trump shared a news article claiming that his approval remained steady even though ICE's figures have taken a hit.

In a social media publication, Trump shared an article from friendly network Newsmax claiming that its latest national survey shows his job approval unchanged from last month at 50%. In contrast, 47% of respondents disapproved of him.

Elsewhere in the poll, the outlet noted that ICE's favorable rating stands at 42%, with 50% of respondents holding an unfavorable view of the agency.

Trump focused on his numbers, boasting about getting the "highest Poll Numbers I have ever received." "Obviously, people like a strong and powerful Country, with the best economy, EVER!"

However, other polls show Trump underwater. A Pew Research Center survey from last week found that 37 percent of Americans approve of Trump's job performance, down from 40 percent in the previous measurement. Half of respondents said his actions as president have been worse than expected, while only 21 percent said they have been better than expected.

Support for Trump's policies has also weakened according to the survey. Just 27 percent of Americans said they support all or most of his policies, a drop from 35 percent. The decline was driven in part by Republicans, among whom support fell from 67 percent to 56 percent. However, the survey also pointed to shifting attitudes within the president's own party as 61 percent of Republicans said GOP lawmakers are not obligated to support Trump if they disagree with him, suggesting a loosening of automatic party loyalty.

Only 34 percent of Americans expressed confidence in Tump's leadership skills, while 21 percent said they trust him to act ethically in office. Sixty percent said they have little or no confidence in his ethical conduct. Nearly half of Americans said they believe Trump will be unsuccessful in the long run, underscoring uncertainty about the trajectory of his presidency.

Other recent polling indicates that broader voter sentiment aligns with these findings. A New York Times/Siena College survey from earlier this week found Trump's overall approval at 40 percent, with 56 percent disapproving. Nearly half of voters in that poll said the country is worse off than when his second term began, and a majority, 57 percent, said the president is focused on the wrong priorities.

Economic concerns emerged as a central factor shaping public opinion. In the Times/Siena poll, 51 percent of respondents said Trump's policies had made life less affordable, while only 24 percent said he had improved affordability. Voters also expressed dissatisfaction with his handling of major issues such as immigration, foreign policy, and the war in Ukraine, with independent voters particularly critical of his performance.
