Recent polling data from Harvard CAPS/Harris indicates that the Trump administration is experiencing a resurgence in approval, contradicting claims from Democratic strategist James Carville about pending collapse. In a survey of over 2,000 registered voters, an impressive 52% expressed approval of Trump's performance. The poll illustrates broad support across various demographics, with notable backing from Hispanic, suburban, and rural voters.
Trump's Approval Surges with Bipartisan Support for Efficiency Initiatives
Trump's Approval Surges with Bipartisan Support for Efficiency Initiatives
A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll reveals surprising levels of approval for Trump and bipartisan backing for his government efficiency initiative, challenging Democratic claims of his impending collapse.
While Carville dismissed Trump's presidency as at risk due to allegedly low approval ratings, the poll showcases the former president outperforming President Biden on critical issues, including the economy and immigration. Voter dissatisfaction with federal spending also emerged, with 70% supporting Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiatives, which aim to cut wasteful expenditures. This includes surprising bipartisan agreement among Democrats regarding government inefficiencies.
In a climate where Democrats are increasingly at odds with their constituents' preferences, the findings raise vital questions regarding their opposition to Trump’s policies. As support for DOGE grows, Democratic leaders may need to reassess their strategies ahead of the 2026 midterms, where failure to address these issues could pose significant risks for the party.
