Interestingly, despite a wave of criticism online pointing fingers at Trump — some accusing him of involvement or loose associations with Epstein — polling data demonstrates that Trump's support among his base remains robust. Recent polls from CNN and Quinnipiac show that his approval ratings among Republicans have actually increased during this period. CNN's latest figures place Trump's approval among Republicans at 88%, up from 86%, while Quinnipiac reports a rise to 90%, from 87%. This trend suggests that, at least within his core supporters, the Epstein controversy has not damaged Trump’s popularity—it might have even strengthened it.
