More winning. America likes having a President who puts America, and Americans, first instead of last like the last regime.
Enten: I think it's time for a bit of a reality check, right? We were going into late April, Donald Trump's approval rating - his net approval seemed to be falling. He seemed to be 'adios amigos.' People were writing his political obituary. He is rising from the dead.
Look at this - hello. Trump's net approval rating among voters - this is the Reuters/Ipsos polling- look at this. In late April, he was eight points underwater. But look at where he was in the most recent poll among voters. He's up seven points to a minus-one point net favorability rating. This is not the picture that I think a lot of people were thinking that we would be painting. In late April, I think a lot of people expected his approval rating to keep dropping. But, at least according to Reuters/Ipsos, it's, in fact, rising.

Berman: Put this then in a larger perspective, Harry.
Enten: So this is just one poll, right? But let's take a look across an aggregate of polls. What are we seeing here? And I want to compare both to where Donald Trump is now versus where he was in late April, as well as where he was at this point in term number one. What you see is at minus-six points, he is a little bit worse off than he is in the Ipsos/Reuters polling, but he is considerably better than he was in late April when he was nine points underwater.
And more than, look at this. He's nearly 10 points better than he was back in May 16th of 2017 in his first term. So what we see is Donald Trump is not just doing better than he was doing in late April of 2025, he's doing considerably better than he was doing at this point in term number one, about 10 points better than he was doing at this point in term number one.
