Statistics and headline: The Righting, 11/9/2026
“The steep drop in visits to Trump’s Truth Social coincides with a shift in the American public’s perception on the effectiveness and consequences of Trump’s war with Iran,” said Howard Polskin, President, TheRighting. “The traffic to Truth Social tells the story. In April 2026, when large swaths of the public were still behind Trump’s war, Truth Social attracted 48.8 million visits, the most in the past 15 months. But in May, year-over-year visits began sliding resulting in a six-month skid that continues to this day.”
Polskin continued, “Looking back at the last six months, it’s clear that Truth Social’s plunging traffic was an early warning foretelling the GOP’s disastrous midterm election results that were yoked to Trump. The historically low October 2026 Truth Social traffic, which is the president’s preferred megaphone for spewing his lies and insults, can be interpreted as a referendum on the president’s popularity. Trump is literally being tuned out. It will be fascinating to see if the decline continues in November.” [emphasis added]
