Unprecedented Popularity Surge for Trump, Credits J.L. Partners
Not so long ago, I articulated how ‘Through Each Week, President Trump Continually Achieves Far Beyond Any Predecessor of His. Week After Week, Trump Sets the Bar Higher.’ This sentiment steadily resonates with a sizable portion of the American populace. They are mesmerized by the sheer dynamism of Trump’s accomplishments. The velocity of his strides is genuinely astonishing. The current opinion poll executed by J.L. Partners, which graced the pages of the Daily Mail, offers some insights. Their reputation for precision in gauging public opinion in America is well deserved. Their findings will baffle those who are swayed easily by the ‘fake news’ propagated by mainstream media. President Trump is currently basking in unparalleled popularity in his tenure, with his approval ratings shooting through the roof. The figures reflect an impressive 55% approval versus 45% disapproval. In an America riddled with stark divisions, this signifies a virtual landslide.
The major factor incentivizing this surge in his popularity is the issue of crime. Trump has reinforced the border regime like none in memory. His proactive stance on deporting illegal migrant offenders has been remarkable. This has won him a fair amount of approval from the American public. However, Trump’s decision to deploy federal troops in the nation’s capital has garnered even greater appreciation. The consequent impact on crime statistics is undeniable. The overall crime rate in Washington DC has plummeted sizably. Violent crimes have dipped by 39%. Instances of robbery have diminished by 57%. Automobile thefts have decreased by 35%. The murder count has touched zero. The impressive nature of these statistics can only be disparaged by a partisan Democrat politician. Trump’s initiatives are progressively tarnishing the image of the Democratic Party.
Democratic leaders are visibly disturbed as Trump’s concerted efforts towards restoring security in their cities underscore their inadequacy, incompetence, and indifference. Despite encountering incessant criticisms and widespread protests, Trump enjoys unparalleled popularity. The explanation is straightforward — the silent majority of rational, practical Americans want Trump to extend his demonstration of federal authority to their crime-infested neighborhoods. They yearn to regain their freedom to walk their streets without fear. The image of Trump that emerges from this scenario is that of an indomitable personality.
Trump is tenacious. He is unyielding. He is formidable. Trump exudes an aura of superhuman vigor. It’s as if Trump was divinely ordained to restore America’s past glory. His first steps promised a new phase in American politics, never to retreat to its old ways. I soon appreciated the core essence of politics as ‘show business.’ In this new context, Trump emerged as the consummate showman. Next, matters of policy took center stage. Succinctly put, America is fundamentally a nation leaning towards the right. Trump’s policy perspectives seemed perfectly aligned with the historical moment.
People also admire him because his conservative credentials perfectly encapsulate the major issues that should define the ideal presidential candidate. These qualifications were proof that Trump was the exemplary candidate that GOP was waiting for. These qualifying traits included points such as the resolve to build a wall to prevent an influx of illegal migrants, take measures to secure the border from criminal elements, terminate the concept of Sanctuary cities and states, deport illegal immigrants who infiltrated into our country unlawfully, push for reductions in both individual and corporate taxes, persuade offshore companies to repatriate trillions of dollars, legislate against detrimental regulations that crippled the US economy and led to job loss, and uphold an ‘America First’ policy prioritizing American interests, jobs and workers. All these remain unchanged to date.
They are just as relevant in the modern context as they were back then. This is because a predominating majority of level-headed and pragmatic Americans back him on all key issues of national importance. Trump’s America First stance continues to find favor among the publics.
