President Donald Trump slammed "rigged" polls, saying that his "real" job approval rating is 64%.
In a Truth Social post Tuesday night, Trump argued that the media and polling industry have long worked hand in glove to undercut him, insisting Americans are experiencing a far stronger country than the numbers suggest.
"The polls are rigged even more than the writers," Trump wrote. "The real number is 64%, and why not, our Country is ‘hotter’ than ever before."
Trump pointed to signature achievements he says voters can see in their day-to-day lives, highlighting what he called a "STRONG BORDER," "No Inflation," a "powerful Military," and a "great Economy."
He ended the message on an optimistic note: "Happy New Year!" and included an image from a Republican National Committee post earlier in the day.
The RNC posted "MAGA" on X alongside an upward-trending chart emoji and a U.S. flag.
The post included an image of Trump walking and pointing, with bold text declaring: "Over 50% of voters approve of President Trump."
The message reflects a broader GOP push to challenge legacy-media narratives and frame Trump’s presidency as delivering tangible results on security and the economy.
While Trump disputes many mainstream polls, some recent survey data have shown movement in his direction.
InsiderAdvantage, which surveyed 800 likely voters Dec. 19-20 in a mixed-mode poll (text and cell) with a margin of error of 3.46%, reported Trump’s approval back in what it called the "fifty-percentile area."
