President Donald Trump just hit a new milestone, and the political world is taking notice.
According to a recent CBS poll, Trump’s approval rating has soared to 53%—the highest in CBS polling history.
This surge is no accident.
A whopping 70% of respondents believe Trump is keeping his campaign promises. That’s a big deal in politics, where broken promises are usually the norm.
Voters describe Trump as “tough,” “energetic,” “focused,” and “effective.” In short, they see a leader who gets things done.
Nevada’s Take
Here in Nevada, Trump’s popularity is making waves.
The Silver State has always been a battleground, but this poll suggests Trump is gaining ground.
With the economy rebounding, gas prices stabilizing, and the border crisis taking center stage, many Nevadans are giving Trump credit for tackling the issues that matter most to them.
Take the economy.
Nevada relies heavily on tourism and small businesses. Under Biden, inflation hit families hard, making everything from groceries to rent more expensive.
But with Trump’s promises of tax cuts and deregulation, many business owners are hopeful for relief.
Then there’s immigration.
Nevada, like much of the country, has felt the effects of Biden’s open-border policies. Crime concerns and overwhelmed public services have made immigration a top concern for voters.
Trump’s no-nonsense approach to border security is resonating, especially in Clark County, where illegal immigration has strained local resources.
What Critics Say
Of course, not everyone is thrilled. Critics argue that Trump’s policies are divisive.
Some claim his approach to leadership is too confrontational. Others insist Biden’s economic policies are finally starting to work, though polls suggest many Americans aren’t feeling it yet.
But Trump’s supporters see things differently. To them, his willingness to fight—whether it’s against the media, the Washington establishment, or foreign adversaries—is exactly why they support him.
The latest numbers don’t lie. More and more Americans—and Nevadans—are looking at Trump’s track record and liking what they see.
If this trend continues, Nevada might just turn even redder in the next election.
