    New polling from Rasmussen Reports shows that 50 percent of Americans now believe the United States is on the right track – a historic high.

    Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell stated that the results were significant because this was the first time in the company’s “polling history A
    MAJORITY says the country is on the right track.” Rasmussen first began tracking whether Americans believed the country was on the wrong track or
    the right track in 2006.

    “Never thought I would see it,” Mitchell stated, according to the
    Washington Examiner. “I don’t think the Republican Party understands the gravity of the gift which Trump has given them. Unprecedented presidency.”

    Rasmussen isn’t the only polling agency that shows rising optimism in the direction of the country. The RealClearPolitics average also shows that 44 percent of Americans now believe the country is on the right track – the highest since 2009.

    In comparison, only 28 percent of Americans believed America was on the
    right track at the end of Joe Biden’s presidency, with 62 percent saying
    the country was on the wrong track.

    White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also commented on the news.
    “There is good news today. Consumer confidence hits a record high, and
    also the highly respected pollster Matt Rasmussen showed that a majority
    of Americans view our country as heading on the right track under
    President Trump,” Leavitt said. “This is a stark contrast to what that
    same polling showed under the previous disastrous administration led by
    Joe Biden.”

    On the right track/wrong track question, Trump is significantly ahead of
    where he was at the same point in time in his first term. On May 29, 2017,
    34 percent of Americans believed the U.S. was on the right track compared
    to 58 percent who believed the country was on the wrong track.

    More polling from Rasmussen also showed that Trump had a 52 percent
    approval rating on Tuesday. This is Trump’s best performance in the
    Rasmussen poll in two weeks. InsiderAdvantage additionally released
    polling Monday showing that Trump had a 60 percent approval rating among Hispanics, appearing to further confirm other reports that Hispanics are flocking to the Republican Party in record numbers.

    Trump’s overall approval rating is also on the rise, according to RealClearPolitics. His average approval rating is currently 48 percent
    compared to 45 percent a month ago.

    This polling stands in stark contrast to the corporate media’s narrative
    that Trump is out of step with the American public. Time and again, legacy outlets have painted Trump as a fringe figure, yet the data tell a
    different story – one of enduring appeal and growing support across key demographics.

    As much as pundits may try to wish it away, public opinion is shifting.
    These numbers are a clear reminder that conventional media narratives
    often miss the mark and that voters, not headlines, will shape the future
    of American politics.

    Particularly since that's not what Rasmussen themselves say presently:

    "Monday, May 26, 2025
    Forty-eight percent (48%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is
    heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports
    national telephone and online survey for the week ending May 22, 2025."
