US President Donald Trump has claimed his approval rating has reached 59%, saying in a post on Truth Social that public support remains strong while inflationary pressures ease.
“59% Approval Rating. Prices coming down along with the lowering of oil and gas,” Trump wrote, without citing the source of the figure.
However, recent public opinion surveys present a different picture. Polls released this month by HarrisX and Quantus Insights show Trump's approval rating at around 43%, while 54–55% of respondents disapprove of his performance.
At the same time, global oil markets have moved higher amid escalating tensions in the Gulf. Brent crude rose about 3.3% to roughly $78.50 per barrel, reflecting investor concerns over potential supply disruptions.
