On Saturday morning, Donald Trump began posting on Truth Social, first attacking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene before shifting to talk about his own poll numbers.
Trump claimed he had reached the top of his political career, using his familiar ALL CAPS style and scattered quotation marks.
“I HAVE JUST GOTTEN THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY ‘POLITICAL CAREER.’ While my great work on the Economy has not yet been fully appreciated, it will be! Things are really Rockin’. Stopping WARS and Foreign Relations seems to be a strong suit. Also great, The Border and Stopping Crime. I predict that the Economy, with the already HIGHEST STOCK MARKET, EVER, and prices coming sharply down from the Biden disaster, will soon be at the top of the list. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump did not say which poll he was referring to. This is notable because recent polls have been very negative.
CNN’s Harry Enten described the numbers as “probably the worst 10 day period for the President in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious!”
Enten explained the numbers in detail. The November Marquette poll had Trump 14 points underwater. Fox News and Marist polls showed 17 points underwater. Reuters Ipsos had 22 points underwater. The AP NORC poll put him 26 points underwater.
Enten said plainly, “When your best poll has you still 14 points underwater, you know it’s truly bad.”
The problem is worse among Independents. In January, Trump was “close to even. He was at minus four points. Not great, but not terrible.” Now, he is 43 points underwater.
Enten warned, “You can’t win with this. If this holds for next year’s midterm election, wave adios, amigos. Goodbye. See you later to that House Republican majority and that Senate Republican majority very much in danger as well.”
Pew Research surveys confirm the shift. Last year, Trump was almost even with Kamala Harris among Independents. Now he is far behind.
