[quote][b]In his first month in office, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is at 52%[/b], with voters most satisfied with his job on immigration, reducing the cost of the government, and returning America to its values. The majority of voters support Trump’s policies on the border, focus on government expenditures, gender, DEI, and offshore drilling but have concerns on his foreign policies involving tariffs, the Israel-Hamas war, and the war in Ukraine.

“People are taking a generally positive wait-and-see attitude for Trump but have really reassessed their attitudes toward Biden, Harris, and the Democrats, taking a much harsher, more negative attitude,” said Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS / Harris poll and Stagwell Chairman and CEO. “Trump has a real opportunity here – we’re seeing a healthy, trudging approval edging toward real approval based on how the next couple of months turn out.”[/quote]

Not only is it a push poll, but it is a push poll conducted by a Trump pollster.[/quote]

Harris Insights is ranked 170 on 538. Poor poll transparency which was my first thought when I looked at their vague info about data collection and demographics. Poll data can and often is weighted, but if the initial poll demographics are poorly controlled and very skewed, the weight still does not help it.  Excessive weighting to correct for poor sampling can really warp results (personal experience, used to work in survey research).[/quote]
