The respondents to the survey were all Trump supporters. So the only thing that this poll proves is that Trump&#8217;s MAGA-tists are fully indoctrinated members of a cult who embrace totalitarianism and brutality. What other excuse could there be for embracing Trump and his fascist regime that has been murdering American citizens, deporting law abiding migrants, and viciously smearing and persecuting anyone who dares to protest his autocratic overreach?<\/p>\n<p>For the record, according to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2026\/01\/29\/confidence-in-trump-dips-and-fewer-now-say-they-support-his-policies-and-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pew Research Center survey<\/a><\/strong> of 8,512 U.S. adults (ten times more than the Harper poll), <em>&#8220;Trump\u2019s approval among Republicans is now 73%.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s quite a ways from the Harper finding of 92%.

Only 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said <em>&#8220;they were confident that Trump acts ethically in office.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump has been dismissive of most of the polling that has been conducted recently.

It&#8217;s getting harder and harder to convince himself and his disciples that he is their blessed lord and savior. Trump maligns every legitimate poll as fake.
