Bottom line up front
The polls turned negative because Trump started doing exactly what he said he would—putting America First.
The Washington elites, big corporations, and globalist institutions rely on a system that benefits them, not working-class Americans. Trump disrupted that system, and they immediately moved to turn public perception against him with biased media coverage and carefully cherry-picked polling
What you should know
The Quinnipiac poll initially had Trump at +3 approval right after he took office, meaning Americans were open to giving him a chance despite media fearmongering.
Within a month, his number dropped to -4—not because his policies failed, but because the establishment immediately mobilized against him, manipulating media coverage and selectively focusing on negativity.
Historically, Republican presidents face media bias, but Trump was a unique threat because he refused to play by the D.C. elite’s rules.
What does this tell us?
It tells us that Trump’s real opposition isn’t the voters—it’s the powerful elites who control the narrative and want to keep regular Americans in the dark. They’ve manipulated the system with fake news and bias-driven data for the past decade which is public trust is down.
