DCNF(DCNF)—CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten found on Tuesday that the majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is delivering on his campaign promises.

A majority of voters, 52%, believe that Trump is fulfilling what he promised throughout his 2024 campaign, prompting him to currently have a 43% approval rating, Enten said while citing his aggregate data. The voters expected Trump to secure the border, bring down inflation and address crime, which have caused his favorability rating to remain steady.

“Donald Trump is who the voters thought he was,” Enten said. “What are we talking about here, well, ‘Is Trump doing what he promised?’ in the 2024 campaign? Yes! 52%, a majority of Americans say that Donald Trump is doing what he promised, compared to 48% who said no. So what essentially is going on here is the voters expected all of this from Donald Trump. The majority did, and that’s why his favorability ratings simply has not really moved all that much compared to where it was a year ago.”

“Trump is basically doing what the American people thought that he was going to do and indeed, if you look at the numbers, Trump has basically the same, steadiest favorable rating this much through a presidency of any president on record and it’s basically where he was a year ago. Good enough to get him reelected,” Enten continued.

WATCH:

Trump had a 44% approval rating in October 2024. Trump’s steady favorability could spell trouble for Democrats in the upcoming 2026 midterms, with polls finding that the party only has a slight lead against Republicans in generic ballot polling. A New York Times poll found that Democrats held a two-point lead against Republicans and a Yahoo/YouGov poll indicated that Democrats were four points ahead.

“In reality, what we’re really seeing is that the American public is pretty much steady,” Enten said. “They pretty much were where they were a year ago at this point. Maybe Democrats can take control of the House where the polling is right now, but maybe not. Because the bottom line is, we’ve seen numbers fairly similar to what we have right now. We had it a year ago and it wasn’t enough for Democrats to take control. The bottom line is this, if Donald Trump is where he is, Republicans will in fact remain competitive if they in fact gain a little bit, it really would not be that surprising to me if Republicans were able to maintain control of the House.”

Trump’s positions on immigration and the economy led him to win all seven swing states and the popular vote against former Vice President Kamala Harris. The president’s hawkish border policies led to the lowest number of border crossings ever recorded in July and to the lowest annual rate since 1970.

As of September, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 300,000 illegal immigrants since Jan. 20, the day Trump re-entered office.

Inflation also dropped to a four-year low in May after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) had reached 40-year highs under former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Crime incidents also significantly decreased following Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C. and the deployment of the National Guard. The National Guard has since been deployed to Memphis, Tennessee, and is expected to also be deployed in Chicago, Illinois.
