Trump Posts "MY REAL POLL NUMBERS ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN" on the Same Day His Approval Hit a Record Low — Worse Than His Post-January 6th Numbers

On the morning of June 24, 2026, Trump posted to Truth Social: "MY REAL POLL NUMBERS ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. THANK YOU!!! President DJT." He cited no poll. The actual polling, released the same week, showed the opposite: a Reuters/Ipsos survey put his approval at 34% (64% disapprove); Economist/YouGov had him at 39% (58% disapprove); American Research Group found a new low of 30%; and Marist found just one-third approve of his handling of the economy, his worst ever in that poll. The RealClearPolitics average for May 29–June 23 was 40.4% approve / 57.7% disapprove — lower than the 41.1% he averaged during his final ten days in office at the end of his first term, in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot. The only favorable number was a single outlier Daily Mail poll at 47%. The decline tracks almost perfectly with economic anxiety over tariff-driven price increases, five months before the November midterms. It is at least the second time Trump has declared "highest ever" poll numbers without evidence — he made the same claim in November 2025.

Newsom's press office began posting in Trump's exact style — ALL CAPS, nicknames, exclamation marks, fake Mount Rushmore photos. Fox News and right-wing hosts attacked the posts as "childish" and "unhinged" — describing Trump's own communication style perfectly, without realizing it.
