The US media survey shows that optimism about the economy has kept Trump's polls stable

Despite the unpopularity of the GOP's mega tax and spending bill, dissatisfaction with U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff plans, and high suspicion that the government is withholding important information about the investigation into the Epstein case, Trump's political standing has shown resilience, buoyed by voters' improving views on the economy, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll. The recent string of tumultuous events, including the administration's aggressive deportation plan and the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities, has neither weakened nor improved public opinion of Trump in general. Some 46 percent expressed satisfaction with his job performance, unchanged from April, and 52 percent expressed dissatisfaction. About 47 percent of people in the survey rated the economy as excellent or good, a sharp 11-point jump from April and the most positive rating in the Journal's survey since 2021. About 51 percent of voters rated the economy as bad or bad, compared with 63 percent in April.
