Rising optimism for Trump as Americans see brighter future
Donald Trump is experiencing record popularity, and an increasing number of Americans believe that the country is moving in the right direction, according to the latest poll data.
CNN analyst Harry Enten notes that Trump is now more popular than ever during his first term.
Enten highlights that 45 per cent of Americans believe the country is on the right track, which is the second-highest figure since 2009.
Meanwhile, an NBC News poll indicates that 44 per cent of citizens share this opinion, marking the highest figure since 2004. "The bottom line is, the percentage of Americans who say we’re on the right track is through the roof," stated Enten.
Prospects for Republicans
The rise in optimism among Americans could benefit Republicans in the forthcoming Congressional elections in 2026. Enten notes that the current poll results resemble those seen during past Republican victories.
"Looks a heck of a lot more like when Republicans win than when Democrats win," added the CNN analyst.
