Leftwing media star Chris Cuomo observed that the media cannot destroy Trump because they’ve only destroyed themselves and their own credibility in the process of trying. Now, we’re seeing it yet again. After a week-long blitzkrieg of negative press against Trump’s tariffs, we finally have polling that proves that the leftwing media is completely wrong as usual.
- Despite intense media criticism of Trump’s tariffs, recent polls show his approval rating surging to 53%, with significant gains among young voters, Black voters, and even Democrats.
- Trump’s tariffs are driving a political realignment, shifting working-class support away from Democrats and spooking markets to lower Treasury bond yields, saving the government billions.
- The legacy media and Democrats’ focus on stock market crashes is backfiring, as voters see tariffs protecting jobs, exposing a disconnect with the financial class.
Despite several days of non-stop hysteria from Democrats and their mouthpieces in the legacy media over his blitzkrieg of tariffs, President Donald Trump’s approval rating has surged to near record highs. According to a new poll conducted by J.L. Partners in conjunction with the Daily Mail, which surveyed 1,000 registered voters between March 31 and April 3, found that Trump’s approval rating climbed to 53%, a four point increase, from last week before he announced the tariffs.
The Daily Mail described the result as “surprising” given the relentless pressure and stock market crash that occurred on Thursday and Friday. The latest RMG Research polling has Trump at a +4, approval, 51 to 47 as well. But the Daily Mail polls is very suggestive as to the chief dynamic behind these surging post-tariff poll numbers. Trump’s approval rating between the ages of 18 and 29 is up 13 points since this same time one month ago.
The under 30 vote had already swung to Trump by 20 points from November of 2020. These tariffs have increased Trump’s support even among Democrats. There was a 6-point swing among Democrats who remain hoping that their party’s leadership will once again embrace the working class. Black voters are also shifting toward Trump. Trump has skyrocketed by 17 points since last week’s survey for black voters. All of this is highly suggestive that the financial class has lost the narrative.
In many ways, we’re seeing the inversion of the political order that dominated our nation over the last 30 years. The financial class called all the political shots and monopolized our politics. We saw this during the Biden years. The economy was equated with the stock market. All the indicators for a healthy economy revolved around the financial class, so when Main Street was pleading with the Biden administration to do something about inflation and the cost of living crisis, they were told by CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times and the Washington Post that they were too economically illiterate to recognize that Biden’s economy was the best economy ever. Those days are officially over.
Mike Cernovic said, ‘Trump is treating hedge fund managers and tech bros the way they treated small businesses during Covid - as non-essential.’ That’s exactly how Victor Davis Hanson is interpreting the tariffs.
The legacy media and the Democrats’ obsession over the market crash, which directly affects only about 20% of voters, is alienating the Democrats and the legacy media from the values, interests, and concerns of the working class who support these tariffs. These people see that these tariffs are protecting and growing their jobs by encouraging manufacturing investment here in the United States to avoid the tariffs.
What Trump is doing here is solidifying the political realignment of the mass defection of the working class and young voters away from the Democrats. Trump pivoted left on economics to maximize his base with the white working class from 2016 while growing his support among non-white working class voters like Latinos and blacks. By doing that, he maximized his own base while minimizing the Democrats’ base, in that so many non-white working class voters who would otherwise have voted for the Democrat candidate ended up defecting and voting for Trump.
The Western Journal reports that what the tariffs are intentionally doing is spooking the market in order to drive investors away from stocks, and instead have them flee to the security of government-issued Treasury bonds. That’s important because the interest rate for the bonds goes down because it becomes a seller’s market. Buyers are willing to take less yield in exchange for higher security.
A number of analysts have noted that since Trump’s tariffs were imposed, the interest payment for 10-year Treasury bonds dropped to under 4%. This means that there are tens of billions of dollars that the government now does not have to pay bond holders. Trump is saving the federal government tens of billions of dollars with these tariffs. The total interest payment on our nation’s debt exceeds the near trillion dollars we spend on defense spending.
Finance expert Tanvi Ratna just pointed out that Trump is basically engaged in what she calls a full spectrum financial reset. This allows our economy to grow again. Our GDP hasn’t grown in years, because whatever growth we see is offset by the federal deficit. The growth does not exceed the debt. These tariffs, along with the interest rate drops and future tax cuts are there to offset whatever cost of living price increases may incur because of the tariffs. This is a holistic approach to completely overhaul the old financial class system and reset the American economy as fully on the side of the working class.
This process is solidifying the political realignment that has caught the Democrats in an 80/20 doom loop, with them now siding with Wall Street CEOs over workers and millionaires over Main Street. This is precisely why we are seeing Trump’s poll numbers, even with all of the legacy media hysteria, continue to surge!
