WASHINGTON D.C. — Democrats are absolutely stunned. After weeks of the mainstream media pushing a narrative of declining support, President Donald Trump has officially surged back, hitting a massive 50% approval rating that mirrors or exceeds his historic 2024 victory margin against Kamala Harris.
According to a highly respected InsiderAdvantage national survey of 800 likely voters conducted February 17-18, the message from the American people is loud and clear: It’s full steam ahead for the Trump agenda.
THE SHUTDOWN SURGE
The results of the poll are sending shockwaves through Washington. When asked their opinion on the job performance of President Trump, voters responded:
-
Approve: 50%
-
Disapprove: 46%
-
Undecided: 4%
Pollster Matt Towery dropped a bombshell explanation for the surge: Trump’s hardcore policies are exactly what the public wants.
“After a period of weakness in his approval ratings, President Trump has come back to the 50% level, near to or exceeding his margin of victory against Kamala Harris in 2024,” Towery explained.
Towery noted that Rasmussen Reports is seeing the exact same upward trend. Why? Because the administration is delivering on its promises. “Basically it is a combination of ICE raids becoming orderly and strategic and obvious evidence that the economy is actually turning to the positive,” Towery added.
Even more devastating for the Left’s narrative: The current government shutdown isn’t hurting Trump at all. In fact, Towery explicitly noted that “this one appears to be actually helping his numbers.”
DON’T TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
Of course, liberal outlets like CNN are desperately clinging to legacy polls from Reuters/Ipsos (showing 38% approval) and Morning Consult (43%). CNN data analyst Harry Enten recently highlighted these low figures.
But there’s a massive catch:Â These are the exact same polling firms that wrongly predicted a Kamala Harris victory in 2024.
Unlike the mainstream media, InsiderAdvantage actually has a proven track record of getting it right. During the 2024 election, their swing state polling was incredibly precise—and in many cases, actually underreported Trump’s final margins of victory:
-
Wisconsin:Â Polled +1% (Trump won by 0.9%)
-
Pennsylvania:Â Polled +1% (Trump won by 1.7%)
-
North Carolina:Â Polled +2% (Trump won by 3.3%)
-
Arizona:Â Polled +3% (Trump won by 5.5%)
-
Georgia:Â Polled +1% (Trump won by 2.2%)
THE WHITE HOUSE RESPONDS
The White House is celebrating the validation of their America First agenda. Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers responded to the InsiderAdvantage poll by highlighting the tangible financial victories Americans are feeling.
“President Trump is fighting hard every single day to make life affordable for working people,” Rogers stated to Breitbart, citing the “largest middle class working tax cuts in history, directing executive actions that made housing affordability hit a four-year high, and unleashing American energy dominance to bring the national average for a gallon of gas below $3.“
The numbers don’t lie. While Washington insiders hyperventilate over a shutdown and ICE raids, the American people are quietly pushing President Trump’s approval ratings higher than ever.
