President Donald Trump has been officially recognized by American voters as the “Peace President” following his unprecedented efforts to broker a historic Middle East deal. The agreement secured the release of Israeli hostages and established a delicate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, ending a brutal two-year conflict.
Trump hailed the accord as a “new dawn” and the “end of an age of terror and death,” unveiling his 20-point peace plan in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Families torn apart by the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks have been reunited, marking one of the most significant breakthroughs in decades.
A new Daily Mail/JL Partners poll shows Trump receiving more votes for Middle East accomplishments than his four White House predecessors combined. His approval rating in the poll came in at 51 percent, while his personal favorability jumped to 47 percent, up from 44 percent in July.
“Trump is the Peace President,” James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, told the Daily Mail. “That’s the verdict of the American public who give him the title of the living president to have done most for peace in the Middle East.”
Even Democrats are impressed: 33 percent said Trump exceeded expectations in his peace efforts, while 55 percent of voters said he has handled Middle East diplomacy well—more than double those who rated it poorly.
When asked who has done the most for Middle East peace, 38 percent credited Trump, followed by 16 percent for Barack Obama, 7 percent each for Joe Biden and Bill Clinton, and only 4 percent for George W. Bush.
The timing of Trump’s trip was dramatic: he arrived in Israel as the final 20 hostages were released, completing a plan that Democrats failed to fully execute, despite Biden securing 24 hostages during his term, per the Daily Mail.
“Trump has shown time and again that he’s willing to think outside the box, bring people together, and get outcomes that result in a stronger America and a safer world,” Republican strategist Mark Bednar said.
With the Gaza ceasefire in place and hostages safely returned, the poll underscores growing public recognition of Trump’s foreign policy achievements. The president now turns his attention to Ukraine, planning high-level diplomacy with President Zelensky in the coming days.
The survey included 1,004 registered voters and was conducted shortly after Trump’s whirlwind Middle East trip, with a margin of error of ±3.1 percent.
For many Americans, Trump has achieved what Obama and Biden could not: a tangible, lasting peace in one of the world’s most volatile regions.
