Yet, while the Quantus figures paint a rosy picture, other polling outlets aren’t entirely aligned. Surveys from YouGov/Economist, ActiVote, Marist, and Fox News show either modest shifts or relative stability in Trump’s boomer approval numbers, signaling that the boomer base isn’t monolithic — though it’s certainly energized.
According to YouGov/Economist, Trump’s rating among seniors stood still in June at 45% approve and 53% disapprove, virtually unchanged from 45/51 in May.
Similarly, the ActiVote poll suggested only a slight dip, showing Trump slipping from a balanced 48/48 in May to 42/52 in June among the over-65 demographic.
Marist’s figures echoed that steadiness, reporting a minor difference: 41% approval and 58% disapproval among voters over 60 in June, closely mirroring April’s 40/57 numbers.
Meanwhile, a Fox News poll indicated a gentle uptick, with Trump rising from 43/57 in April to 46/53 among seniors in June.
Despite the scattered poll results, one narrative remains impossible to ignore: Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican base is stronger than ever — and it’s breaking records.
CNN’s Harry Enten recently revealed staggering insights into Trump’s standing with GOP voters, declaring that the former president’s numbers are historically unmatched among Republican leaders.
“Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney World. The bottom line is, 63 percent. That is a huge, huge base. And, of course, it’s just part of the Republican base in which about 90 percent of them overall approve of him, including the somewhat approves as well,” Enten said during “CNN News Central.”
The fervor surrounding Trump isn’t just ordinary partisan loyalty. It’s passion — the kind that could decide the fate of dozens of GOP primaries and even shape the balance of power in Washington.
Enten laid it out plainly: “So, the bottom line is, Donald Trump is making history with the Republican base. He is more beloved by this Republican base than any Republican base loved any GOP president five months in. It is history-making.”
And Trump’s endorsement isn’t just a polite pat on the back — it’s political rocket fuel.
“The bottom line is this: 95 percent plus of the time, the Trump-endorsed candidate wins in GOP primaries. And even in the cases where Donald Trump endorses a challenger to an incumbent, the majority of the time that challenger wins. So, Donald Trump is a winner in Republican primaries,” Enten explained.
Enten even dropped a pop-culture reference to emphasize how perilous it is to oppose the 45th president within GOP ranks: “You go against Donald Trump, to quote the movie ‘Good Burger,’ you go in the grinder. Donald Trump is the key nugget. His endorsement’s the key nugget in a GOP primary because he’s historically strongly popular with the GOP base.”
In other words: Trump’s influence isn’t fading — it’s solidifying into concrete power.
As the political battlefield gears up for 2026, Democrats may scoff, but the data reveals a sobering truth for the left: Donald Trump remains the undisputed kingmaker of the Republican Party — and he’s making history while he’s at it.
