Trump touts record GOP support amid Epstein files backlash
UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – President Trump claims his Republican support has reached record highs amid the Epstein controversy despite 63% of voters disapproving of his administration's handling, according to a Quinnipiac poll.
- Support reached as high as 95% in some polls, President Donald Trump said, crediting the 'Jeffrey Epstein hoax' for boosting his Republican support to record highs.
- Amid intensifying transparency demands, 89% of respondents said the Department of Justice should release all related Epstein documents and the DOJ has formally asked to unseal grand jury transcripts.
- A CBS News poll suggests his overall approval has declined since February and Republicans remain split on the Epstein case handling, while a Reuters/Ipsos survey found 54% disapprove of his handling and just 17% approve.
- Support within the Republican Party and among his base remains strong, according to his assessment, and he sued the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch, calling the letter fake.
- Former White House aide Steve Bannon speculated the GOP would lose dozens of House seats over the Epstein files, while two Democratic House candidates tied their opponents to the administration’s shortcomings on the file release.
