Polling released at a conservative gathering in Washington shows voters shifting in favor of President Donald Trump. Moreover, it finds support for several longtime conservative priorities at an all-time high.
But OnMessage Public Strategies’ Wes Anderson warned attendees of the Rescuing the American Dream summit not to claim victory too quickly.
“Don’t assume that it’s a huge amount of trust and faith that the voters have given our side,” he said. “What they decided is because the other side is crazy, it must be opposed. We still have a lot of work on our side to do to try to capitalize on that.”
The survey found that Trump enjoys positive favorability now, with 50% of voters rating his image positively and 47% seeing him negatively. While that’s just a net of +3, Anderson said that’s the highest rating the Republican leader has enjoyed since he announced his first presidential campaign in 2016.
Stu Sandler, a partner at OnMessage who has managed super PACs supporting U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, said the reason is likely Trump’s focus on a handful of issues polling extremely well across the political spectrum.
That gives Sandler greater confidence than historical trends might suggest about Republicans’ chances in the Midterms. Historically, voters punish the party in power, but he said Democrats have put themselves in a corner with a few key issues.
“Trump is really smartly talking about issues where America is with him,” Sandler said.
A proposal to eliminate taxes on tips, for example, is popular with 65% of voters, and 74% generally support reducing regulations on small businesses.
And on several social issues, Republicans see things trending continuously for the Right. About 69% of voters support Trump’s ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports, which transcends party lines, and 60% ban a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
Anderson said Republicans were once afraid to touch the issue and Democrats believed that the matter, like same-sex marriage, would ultimately see the public buy in with the Left. But instead, voters are shifting further to the right on transgender topics.
“There are even some slightly left-of-center suburban voters who live in fear that this issue is going to impact their family negatively,” Sandler said.
Meanwhile, the popularity of Republicans is even moving voters on some economic issues that were long unpopular. For example, 54% of voters now feel favorable about lowering corporate tax rates.

The headline suggests that the population is awakening.
Not to be confused with becoming ‘woke’!

Mary Ogles is a hostile cat rancher. Trump is not a politician, he is a disrupter. The country needs this right now. Our government is too bloated. Sorry Fed employees these jobs are not for life. Where were all the Howler Monkeys when the airlines, banks, auto manufacturers, and on and on cut thousands of workers? Not a peep from any of you. Hilarious!

In much the same way that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, I guess one man’s disruptor is another man’s incompetent idiot. Who knew?

The incompetent was Biden and his idiot VP. Funny how you, the media, ignored his mumbling, bumbling, stumbling and tried to convince us he was mentally sharp. Dude couldn’t even enter AF 1 at the forward entry door.

3/16/25 NBC: Trump’s approval has hit an all-time high, but the ratio of the American people who are satisfied with the direction of the country is higher than it has been for 20 years. Winning. MAGA. Woke progressives had better get use to it.

So the writer above calls the writer a faggot. I make a valid comment and it gets scrubbed by the moderator. Just when you think you have read it all.

Congratulations, MAGAs – the economic forecasts are in a downward spiral – along with financial markets – thanks to whims and petty grievances of Dear Leader. (No doubt his actions benefit his oligarchs and family). Our global alliances are in tatters, and the federal government is being destroyed from within by ketamine addled co-president Tesla. But best of all, we are in complete alignment with the murderous dictator Vladimer Putin, who heartily approves of what his puppet is doing.
So much winning. It’s not like we weren’t warned.

Funny how suddenly you are now interested in the economy. You brushed aside all of that while Slo Joe was President. Stop with the Trump is Putin’s puppet. Everyone should know that Putin invaded Ukraine while Joe was sleeping at the beach.

I was pretty happy with the economy under biden but trump managed to screw that up in just six weeks.
As for the Russo-Ukrainian war, that started in 2014.
I do seem to recall that you complained a lot about the economy before trump got elected but now you’re fine with inflation, gas prices & groceries. What happened there? Suddenly you’re happy? I guess just the mere existence of trump changed everyone’s mind.

Miss Spoe is not happy. She/they/it is emblematic of Trumpism: Destroy everything – build nothing. There is no positive vision at work – only grievance, retribution, chaos, and division. Put the most incompetent people in charge. Blow it all up, make people even more stupid – and hand it over to the oligarchs for their complete benefit and control.
Mission accomplished without Putin ever firing a single shot.

Good mornting America,
This is an appropriate time to thank all the registared Democrats, NPA’s, Independants, socialists, and yes everybody for seeing the folly of going down the political toilet with Harris and casting their Sage Votes for Donald Trump. Fact is Trump got millions upon millions of votes above and beyond the number of Registared Republicans in our Great Nation.
IN CLOSING:
Once again, I, EARL PITTS AMERICAN, thank all the Millions Upon Millions of registared Democrats, NPA’s, Independants, socialists, and yes everybody for seeing the folly of going down the political toilet with Harris and casting their Sage Votes for Donald Trump.
AMERICA HAS SPOKEN:
Thank you America,

Proff positive that even when a poll comes out in any conservatives favor the polling business are still in the tank for the Democrats.
Had they polled all the Democrats, Libratarians, Independants, and NPA’s who wisely voted for Trump the above poll would be off the charts, causing the leftys to loose their minds. And trying to shut this polling busuness down with lawfare.
Thank you to all the Democrats, Libratarians, Independants, and NPA’s who wisely voted for Trump.

Of course this pollster which focuses on right wing bias would sway their polls. They need to get honest. Workers in our country who love our country and constitution are NOT supporting this chainsaw approach!
