"Trump posted several polls on his Truth Social account showing sky-high approval ratings for him on several topics. To say these numbers were outliers from his recent polling would be an epic understatement."
"The polls had a McLaughlin & Associates logo. Tapper wrote a tweet to John McLaughlin, CEO of the polling company, asking if he could shed any light on these graphics the president posted."
"McLaughlin replied that the poll was conducted among attendees of the most recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas, a self-selecting universe of GOP and conservative activists who are largely fervent MAGA supporters."
"Tapper posted a follow-up tweet with an implied dig at Trump over his posts. This polling is of CPAC attendees. Curious why that doesn't appear in the graphics the president posted."
President Trump shared polls on his Truth Social account indicating high approval ratings, but these results came from a biased audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Jake Tapper questioned the legitimacy of these polls, noting that Trump's overall polling has been negative during his second term. The polls were conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, and Tapper highlighted the lack of transparency regarding the respondents. The White House declined to comment on the matter, further fueling skepticism about the accuracy of the presented data.
