Rarely in American political history has the establishment’s coordinated assault on a president so completely blown up in their faces. For years, the liberal elite and their media allies have waged a relentless campaign of lawfare, hysteria, and manufactured scandals to bring down Donald Trump. But instead of weakening him, their crusade has only exposed them as paper tigers—institutions that once dictated what Americans should think now find their influence evaporating as voters judge results over rhetoric.
How can we tell? Trump has achieved his highest approval rating ever at a commanding 55 percent, standing stronger than ever in the eyes of the American people.
This remarkable milestone comes from a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll conducted between late August and early September, surveying 867 registered voters. The numbers tell a story that must be driving Democrats absolutely mad: Trump's approval has surged eight points since June, when it stood at 47 percent.
"This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump," JL Partners co-founder James Johnson explained.
What makes this achievement even more delicious is the timing. While the left threw everything it had at Trump—from Jan. 6 hysteria to an aggressive lawfare campaign, even desperate attempts linking him to Jeffrey Epstein—ordinary Americans watched his policies work and decided they wanted more. The sustained upward trend since early summer proves this isn't some fleeting bounce; it's a genuine reflection of a president delivering results and the people taking notice.

“It might seem surprising, but the news cycle has been ace for the president in recent days: his crime surge in DC is backed by the public, and economic news has been positive,” Johnson said.
The White House wasted no time capitalizing on these numbers, releasing a statement Friday that perfectly captured the moment: "This is confirmation of President Trump's ability to deliver results."
They're absolutely right.
The policy wins speak for themselves, but what's truly remarkable is how Trump achieved this despite facing the most hostile media environment in presidential history. Legacy outlets have thrown their credibility out the window trying to destroy him, yet their coverage has fallen on completely deaf ears. Americans can see through the manufactured outrage and coordinated attacks. They're judging Trump by his results, not by the warped world view of the hosts of The View.
Everything the left frames as a negative for Trump turns out to be a positive.
His decision to deploy National Guard troops to crime-ridden Washington, D.C. resonated with voters fed up with watching their communities deteriorate. Democrats reflexively opposed him and sided with the criminals—and that didn’t sit well with the public. While media commentators wailed about “militarization,” ordinary Americans applauded a president finally willing to restore order. And, of course, his border security measures have been equally popular. After years of Biden’s open-borders nightmare, voters appreciate having a president who believes America should control who enters the country. These aren’t complicated ideas—they’re common sense policies most Americans support.
The surge in approval reflects something deeper than polling numbers—it’s vindication of authentic leadership over empty political theater. Trump’s results make Biden’s failures even harder to ignore. Americans remember prosperity and security, and they want both back.
Trump has been underestimated time and again, and each time, he’s proven his doubters wrong. The left’s campaign to drag him down has backfired, producing the strongest approval ratings of his presidency. Sometimes the best revenge really is living well.
