Americans are happier with their government than they have been for a really, really, long time but that fact is being suppressed by the "liberal media" because members of that industry hope "to slow the support for President Donald Trump and his second-term agenda."
That's the verdict from Washington Examiner's columnist Paul Bedard, who explained that Americans now "have the best outlook for the nation they have ever had, a remarkable turnaround so far kept secret by much of the media and Washington," which is hoping to undermine Trump.
He reported the results are from Rasmussen Reports pollster Mark Mitchell who explained to the Washington Secrets column that for the last week, "likely voters who believe the country is headed in the right direction have been about even with those who believe it is headed in the wrong direction."
Then last week "right direction" came in a point higher than "wrong." And Trump's approval soared to 54%.
"Trump approval hit 54%, net plus-10, and on Thursday, right direction tied the out all-time high. But here's what's crazy. Right direction exceeded wrong track by 1 point, which has never happened in our polling, ever," Mitchell explained.
That, he said, is "pretty much as good as it gets."
The report noted that just as Joe Biden was preparing to exit the White House, the wrong direction was at 61%, and to right direction 30%.
"And in its poll released Monday, likely voters picked Trump as the 'best' president of all recent presidents. He was judged 'best' by 34%, followed by former President Barack Obama at 32%," the report said. "But he was also judged the 'worst' by the highest share," revealing the deep extent of division in the country after four years of Biden.
Instead of reporting on the results, however, "the liberal media have instead spun out negative stories about his Department of Government Efficiency and international strongarm efforts that have, so far, worked to cut waste and led to de-escalation in world hot spots."
Mitchell described the atmosphere among the deep state in Washington.
"It turns out people like where Trump and Elon Musk are going, and now people in D.C. are panicking, searching for terms like defense lawyer, extradition, and immunity."
