Do people still trust liberal media polls about Trump? Not likely. Why should Americans trust polling from the very people who openly despise our president and spend every waking moment trying to undermine his administration? It’s no wonder conservative voters take these numbers with a grain of salt the size of Texas.

But apparently, Chuck Schumer didn’t get the memo. The Senate Minority Leader was all too eager to weaponize recent polling against President Trump during a press conference highlighting what Democrats dramatically called “100 days of chaos.” Yet when confronted about his own abysmal approval ratings just minutes later, suddenly polls weren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

The Poll Position: Schumer’s Double Standard

During Tuesday’s press conference, Schumer could barely contain his excitement as he declared, “The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago. The lowest! Even worse, 72% of Americans think it’s likely that Trump’s handling of the economy will walk us directly into a recession.”

You could practically see the gleam in his eye as he delivered what he thought was a devastating blow to the Trump administration. But the self-congratulatory moment didn’t last long.

Less than 20 minutes later, CNN’s Manu Raju asked Schumer about his own dismal approval ratings. “There’s a poll out today that has your approval ratings lower than any other congressional leader at 17%. Are you concerned that you may be a liability for your party?” Raju inquired.

Schumer’s response? “Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot. We’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success.”

Well, isn’t that convenient? Polls matter tremendously when they can be used as ammunition against President Trump, but they’re suddenly meaningless when they expose Schumer’s own unpopularity.

Leadership in Crisis: Democrats Drowning in Disapproval

It’s not just Schumer’s hypocrisy that stands out here – it’s the stunning revelation that the Senate Minority Leader has a mere 17% approval rating, the lowest of any congressional leader. That’s not just unpopular; that’s approaching mathematical impossibility territory.

The dismal numbers come amid what could only be described as a leadership crisis for Senate Democrats. Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), the second-ranked Democrat in the Senate, recently announced he would not seek re-election in 2026, stating, “In my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.”

Many Democrats have lost confidence in Schumer ever since he refused to vote in favor of blocking a GOP stopgap bill to avert a partial government shutdown earlier this year. Yet when asked about the leadership turmoil, Schumer defiantly told CNN he was “staying put.”

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“I’m fighting the fight every day, as is our caucus, in a united and successful way, as you have seen by your poll and other polls,” Schumer said. “We’re showing America how bad Trump is, and showing that Republicans who embrace Trump do so at their peril.”

United and successful with a 17% approval rating? That’s quite the interesting definition of success, wouldn’t you agree?

The Real Story: Americans See Through the Noise

President Trump, for his part, dismissed the polls Schumer was so eagerly promoting. Just before reaching the 100-day milestone of his second term, Trump posted on Truth Social: “The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE! We are doing GREAT, better than ever before.”

When liberal media outlets and the politicians they support continuously misrepresent and attack conservative policies, is it any wonder their polling loses credibility with everyday Americans? The same outlets that predicted Trump couldn’t win in 2016 or 2024 are now telling us he’s unpopular after winning.

What’s truly revealing isn’t what these polls say about President Trump – it’s what Schumer’s reaction says about Democratic leadership. When they’re drowning in their own unpopularity, they desperately try to pull everyone else down with them.

Have you noticed how the media breathlessly reports every poll that casts conservatives in a negative light, yet buries those showing Democratic failures? This selective reporting isn’t journalism – it’s propaganda.

Americans are smart enough to recognize the game being played. While Schumer cherry-picks polls to attack Trump one minute and dismisses them the next, conservatives remain focused on delivering results for the American people rather than obsessing over manipulated polling numbers. That’s the difference between leadership and desperation.

Key Takeaways:

• Chuck Schumer touted polls showing Trump’s allegedly low approval ratings, then immediately dismissed his own 17% approval rating as irrelevant when questioned.
• Schumer’s 17% approval rating is the lowest of any congressional leader, revealing a Democratic leadership crisis as Durbin announces retirement.
• Liberal media polls lose credibility when the same people who attack conservatives suddenly ignore devastating numbers that expose their own unpopularity.
