President Donald Trump is hitting new heights in public approval, with a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll showing 55 percent support—a six-point surge since July. Critics may be silenced, but voters are clearly responding to his results-driven approach.
Experts credit the boost to Trump’s firm stance on crime and strong economic performance. His August 11 executive order deploying federal troops to Washington, D.C., delivered dramatic results: violent crime fell 39 percent, robberies dropped 57 percent, and car thefts were down 35 percent year-over-year. While the move sparked debate, the majority of Americans backed it, cementing Trump’s image as a decisive law-and-order leader.
Economic strength has further fueled confidence. The U.S. economy expanded 3.3 percent in Q2, inflation remained steady, and both consumer spending and personal incomes rose. Wall Street mirrored this optimism with five new S&P 500 records in August. Unlike many politicians who retreat for summer, Trump stayed at the White House, laser-focused on crime, economic growth, and diplomacy. On August 15, he met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and later hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside European leaders, pushing for a peace deal in Ukraine.
Even health rumors haven’t slowed him down. Doctors say his mild leg swelling is benign, while a bruised hand is simply the result of handshakes and aspirin use. At 79, Trump is defying expectations, entering September with soaring approval and fresh political momentum.
