Reports on social media suggest a recent ABC poll indicates President Trump has achieved 92.5% approval among Republicans. This claim has circulated widely, often accompanied by videos of the president with supporters and military personnel.
However, a thorough review of ABC News’ official reporting and general searches for such a poll have not yielded any credible evidence to support this figure. In fact, an ABC News report from early May indicated that Trump’s overall approval rating had fallen to 37%, with a disapproval rating of 62%, marking a record high for his presidency. This report noted a slight decrease from a previous 39% approval in February.
A fact-check by Grok also stated that no recent ABC poll shows Republican approval for Trump at 92.5%. The most recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll cited by Grok, conducted from April 24-28, found 85% approval among Republicans, which was described as steady rather than surging. The 92.5% figure is considered unsubstantiated or misattributed.
This discussion about Trump’s standing within the Republican party comes as some Republican lawmakers have expressed skepticism regarding his newly announced agreement with Iran. Senator Lindsey Graham, a notable figure in foreign policy and a long-time ally of Trump, voiced his reservations, stating, “When it comes to Iran, I’m pretty skeptical, but you never know till you try, so it’s worth a try.” Other senators have also indicated a need for more information before endorsing the framework.
