In a development that undercuts the establishment narrative, President Trump has demonstrated fortitude and resilience in the face of ceaseless opposition, seeing a marked uptick in his poll numbers following a series of events that have galvanized the right. The latest state visit to the United Kingdom showcased an administration that stands unafraid on the world stage. Unlike the feckless diplomacy of past leaders, Trump’s assertive approach won recognition from King Charles III and Prime Minister Starmer, reinforcing the respected partnership between the U.S. and Britain. This renewed strength abroad reflects the rising swell of support at home.
The political class and their media allies can no longer ignore the presence of genuine grassroots enthusiasm for Trump’s policies. Despite overwhelmingly negative coverage, recent polling shows his approval ratings have stabilized and even improved in some key voter groups. While the usual surveys cite overall disapproval, they cannot obscure the loyalty and optimism among Republican voters, who continue to rally in unprecedented numbers. Voters are responding to policies that prioritize border security, law and order, and a pragmatic approach to the economy—issues that the left is too busy dismissing instead of addressing.
MITCHELL: If this were a real fascist crackdown, the lies wouldn’t stop and they’ll keep calling Trump a fascist no matter what. But in just 4 days, his net approval is up 10 points. He’s now plus 7, the highest since mid-June.

Events of recent weeks have also drawn a spotlight on the extremism that has poisoned discourse in America. The public assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was met with shock and outrage on the right, yet the reaction from certain left-wing activists and politicians ranged from callous to appalling. Kirk’s memorial became a rallying point for the movement, with President Trump delivering a call for unity and resolve in the face of ideological violence. The refusal of some lawmakers to honor Kirk’s memory is a stark illustration of the bankrupt identity-politics game that the left continues to play.
It’s no wonder, then, that the American public is increasingly wary of the manufactured outrage and double standards that pour forth daily from legacy media outlets. These institutions have invested years in undermining Trump, yet their power to sway voters is slipping away. Rank-and-file Americans recognize the difference between establishment smears and substantive debate. They see in Trump a leader who refuses to bend the knee to the latest trends of social justice scolds, preferring instead to champion American values and freedoms under unprecedented pressure.
As Trump’s approval trajectory reminds us, this is a moment of reckoning for the country. The surge of public support, particularly in the wake of tragedy and relentless opposition, reveals that the American spirit cannot be extinguished by media spin or partisan outrage. If anything, it is the combative and dishonest rhetoric from the left that is stoking a growing wave of resolve among voters—one that only strengthens calls to restore sanity, tradition, and common sense to the nation’s highest office.
