Peak Moment: Trump Believes He Is at the Height of His Popularity
"I feel my popularity is higher than ever before," he said in an interview with Fox News, citing a poll that claimed 100% of respondents supported him.
According to a CBS survey conducted from March 17 to 20 (with over 3,300 participants):
- Trump's overall approval rating for his administration stands at only 40%
- Only 38% of Americans approve of his policy toward Iran
- 64% express dissatisfaction with his economic policies
Trump’s statements reflect his long-standing media style: deliberately amplifying positive perceptions while downplaying negative data. By loudly proclaiming "high popularity," he aims to bolster supporters’ confidence and offset real-world policy controversies and polling pressures.
Tensions in the Middle East and poor domestic economic sentiment have directly dragged down his support ratings. The so-called "peak popularity" is largely political rhetoric.
