CNN reported on Tuesday that President Donald Trump enjoys an extraordinary level of support among Republican voters — greater than that of any GOP president in recent memory.
Harry Enten, CNN’s senior data analyst, explained in comments cited by the Independent Journal Review that polling shows a substantial portion of Republicans are not just supportive, but deeply enthusiastic about Trump. “Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney World. The bottom line is 63%,” he said. “That is a huge, huge base. And of course, it’s just part of the Republican base, in which about 90% of them overall approve of him, including the somewhat approves as well.”
Enten emphasized the intensity of the support, noting that it goes beyond mere favorability. “So this isn’t just Republicans who like Donald Trump. This is Republicans who love Donald Trump, and he’s up like a rocket.”
He pointed out the dramatic rise in those who strongly approve of Trump’s performance compared to earlier years. “Look at this. In July 2017, the strongly approved was 53%. That’s pretty good. But look at where he is now. Sixty-three percent of Republicans strongly approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing about five months into his presidency.”
When stacking Trump’s popularity against that of past Republican presidents, Enten said no one else comes close. “And I was looking even back since (Ronald) Reagan, and get this, Donald Trump beats Ronald Reagan when it comes to the strongly approved,” said Enten.
“The bottom line is, Donald Trump is making history with the Republican base. He is more beloved by this Republican base than any Republican base loved any GOP president at five months, and it is history making. It is a striking number.”
A June report by the Pew Research Center highlighted that Trump’s 2024 campaign succeeded in assembling a remarkably broad coalition, noting that 85% of those who voted for him in 2020 returned to support him again in 2024.
Pew’s analysis further revealed that 5% of those who had voted for Joe Biden in the last election switched sides in 2024, helping Trump capture every key swing state and secure a second term in the Oval Office by defeating Democrat Kamala Harris.

It would take idiots like CNN staff to totally miss the point. Trump is not loved, in fact, many recognize his shortcomings, foibles and everything else that’s wrong with him. However, they also realize that he is the man for the job. He knows how to negotiate, he knows what’s right and wrong, and he is willing to stand in the trenches battling for his goals. He is NOT just another politician talking out of the side of his mouth, and that’s why they’re so heavily supportive. But CNN sees him as just another political hack trying to do what every other hack does, just like they themselves and their party, so he becomes a “successful” Disney character who can fool all of the fools all of the time. To them, they have superior solutions to anything Republicans offer, but they need to “get their message out”. What a bunch of dopes
