MAGA Support Grows as Trump Nears 100 Days

Recent NBC News polling shows a significant rise in support for President Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) movement, with 36% of registered voters now identifying as MAGA supporters, up from 20% at the start of 2024. This increase is especially pronounced among Republicans, where 71% now align with MAGA, compared to 55% before the 2024 election. Among college-educated men, MAGA identification climbed from 21% to 37% in the first quarter of 2024. The poll was conducted as Trump approaches the 100-day mark of his second term, highlighting his growing influence within the GOP and the party's shift towards his populist ideology. Pollsters note this trend could influence Republican strategies for the 2026 midterm elections. However, a separate CBS News/YouGov poll indicates that, despite rising MAGA support, public confidence in Trump's economic management has recently declined.
