President Trump crowed Sunday about his poll numbers within his GOP base, claiming that his approval has soared “significantly” despite the ongoing firestorm over notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
“My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain ‘troublemakers,’” Trump boasted on Truth Social.
“They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records. The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!”
It is not immediately clear which polls Trump was citing.
Several recent surveys last week showed Trump with a robust approval rating among Republicans, such as a CNN poll that pegged it at 88% and a Quinnipiac poll that gauged it at 90%.
Both of those polls marked an uptick for Trump’s approval rating among his base, with a prior CNN poll pegging him at 86% and a prior Quinnipiac survey at 87%.
Trump’s brag about his polling numbers comes after controversy within part of his MAGA base over Epstein and demands that the administration release more information on the deceased pedophile.
