For years, establishment media outlets and Democrat strategists have tried to shape one narrative about President Trump…‘That his support is collapsing, morale is low, and conservatives should just give up.
’But when you look past the headlines and dig into what credible poll watchers are actually saying, a very different picture emerges — one that reveals resilience, stability, and a steady core of Americans who continue to stand with President Trump.
Polling expert Patrick Allocco recently pushed back on the doom-and-gloom headlines during an appearance on Newsmax. In fact, he called out the media’s synchronized messaging directly: “I woke up to the sky is falling this morning, and I can assure you it’s not.” He pointed to the real numbers… And not the cherry-picked stats being blasted across television panels and online news feeds. Gallup’s historical trend line shows Trump’s current approval rating is matching his first-term average, sitting at 41 percent, the exact same number he maintained across four years in office. That is not collapse — that is consistency.
The media rarely explains why some polls seem worse than others... Allocco does… Polls from Gallup and Reuters/Ipsos use “all adults,” which includes people who don’t vote, don’t follow politics, and often lean against conservative candidates on name recognition alone. When you look at likely voters and registered voters, Trump’s support jumps to the mid-40s, between 45% and 47%. Those are the people who actually show up on Election Day. That matters.
When you compare Trump with other modern presidents, the stability becomes even more obvious. Biden saw wild swings of 20 points in just one term. Obama had a 36-point swing. George W. Bush saw a stunning 65-point roller coaster in approval ratings. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval has remained within one of the narrowest ranges of any president in 30 years. Support doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t collapse. It simply stays firm — especially among Republicans, where he enjoys around 87% approval. Democrats show similar loyalty to their candidates. That leaves only a small slice of persuadable independents to move the needle.
Now here’s the key: when every major network runs the same type of headline…“Trump hits historic low,” “support collapsing,” “Republicans losing confidence.” It isn’t accidental. It is messaging. The goal is psychological, not informational. The goal is suppression.If you can convince conservatives and Christians that they are alone, that they are losing, and that support is dwindling, you can keep them home on Election Day. You can drain enthusiasm without changing a single policy or winning a single debate. It’s the same strategy used in sports when broadcasters say one team has “no chance” before kickoff — it’s meant to crush morale before the game even starts.
But the actual data tells a different story. Conservative support remains strong. Trump’s numbers are not crashing — they are stable and resilient. Yes, there is a narrow group of voters that will matter in tight races, especially low-engagement female voters ages 21 to 44, the “Phoenix” demographic Allocco identifies. But that just means campaigns must focus on outreach and real conversation, not surrender.Don’t let the headlines decide your hope. Don’t let the establishment media define your voice. The truth is simple: Trump’s support is far from dismal. It is steady, persistent, and remarkably durable — and that is exactly why the media works so hard to spin the opposite story.The goal is to make you think quitting is your only option.It isn’t.Conservatives, Christians, and everyday Americans who care about borders, safety, faith, and fairness still make up a powerful, determined movement. No poll headline will change that — unless we let it.
Stand informed. Stand confident. And most importantly, stand engaged.
