Sifting through poll numbers to assess the truth is sometimes a
challenging thing, especially when so much bull is often being spread in liberal media surveys. I tend to look more at the polls that have a
history of being accurate in the past, particularly in the 2024
presidential election.

One of those polls is Rasmussen. They have new numbers out that will make Democrats break out the crying towels. After all the effort Democrats have stirred up against President Donald Trump, after the tariff furor, what is
the American public thinking about where we are right now?

Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell commented on what they found in their polling:
"In 20 years, the % of people who say the US is headed in the Right
Direction has never been higher than today."


What were the numbers?

Forty-nine percent thought we were going in the "Right Direction." Forty-
six percent thought we were on the "Wrong Track." That's a three-point net positive. The previous record was 48 percent, with a net plus one point positive.

He said the right direction number had never been this high.

Mitchell thought that if the trend continued, he might soon be able to say
that a majority of Americans thought we were on the right track. That
would be astonishing, since the right track number is generally a
pessimistic number.

Notice also in the above tweet that President Donald Trump's approval is
at 52 percent, which is also high. Mitchell said most of that polling was before the weekend, before the wins on ceasefires, trade deals, and Hamas hostage Edan Alexander being released. So one might expect that number
will ultimately be higher.

Now compare that to March, when the numbers were already high in the NBC
and Marist polls for "right track"—44 and 42 percent, respectively. These numbers are even higher now in the Rasmussen poll.

We need a "reality check"... Right track % in the U.S. is "through the
roof!" Highest since 04 per NBC & 2nd highest since 09 per Marist.

Trump is more popular now in his net favorable than any time in term 1 or
when he won in 2024.

Generic ballot looks like when GOP wins.

It shows the high numbers are sustained, despite the Democrat/media
attacks. So, regardless of what the media is trying to sell us, the people across multiple polls think we're going in the right direction under
President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Democrats are wedding themselves to illegal aliens, causing
chaos at ICE facilities and disrupting ICE arrests.

Could there be any greater contrast?
