US President Donald Trump has claimed that his approval rating has risen to 59%, describing the figure as a sign of growing public support for his policies. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump linked the reported increase in support to what he described as improvements in the economy and falling oil and gas prices. However, Trump did not identify the poll or organisation behind the figure, nor did he provide details about its methodology. Recent averages of national polls have shown lower approval ratings for the president, although results vary between polling organisations. Trump has repeatedly highlighted economic issues in recent weeks, pointing to energy prices, trade and investment as areas where he says his administration has made progress. His comments come as his government faces ongoing political challenges and rising tensions abroad, including the conflict with Iran.
