US President Donald Trump announced that his approval rating has reached 59%, considering this reflects growing support for his policies, in a post on his platform Truth Social, in which he linked what he described as an improvement in economic conditions to a decline in energy prices.

Trump wrote: 'Approval rating 59%. Prices are falling along with the decline in oil and gas prices. Thank you!' before signing the post with 'President Donald J. Trump.'

Trump did not specify in his post which entity conducted the poll he relied on, nor did he provide details on the poll methodology or the time period during which it was conducted. The latest published averages of national polls indicate approval ratings lower than the figure cited by the president, with variation among the results of different institutions measuring the US president's popularity.

Focus on the economy

Trump's post came as he continues to focus on the economic file, as he keeps asserting that his policies have contributed to lowering the cost of living and stabilizing fuel and energy prices, considering that this is reflected in inflation rates and consumer spending, while the debate intensifies over the impact of the US war on Iran on the domestic economic situation in the United States.

Over the past weeks, the US president has been highlighting what he describes as his administration's economic achievements, particularly regarding oil and gas prices, as well as trade and investment files, at a time when his administration faces political and external challenges, most notably the military escalation with Iran.

This statement also comes amid continuous monitoring of polls showing variation in the assessment of Trump's performance among public opinion polling institutions, as results differ depending on the survey methodology and sample type, whether it includes likely voters, registered voters, or all adults.
