Georgia Howe 1:35
All eyes were on the Super Bowl Sunday and on President Trump, who sat down for a big interview and appeared at the game. The high-profile moments come as three weeks into his second term, new polling shows he's more popular than ever.

How is Trump's popularity changing?

John Bickley 1:49
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with more. Hey, Cabot. So Trump making Super Bowl Sunday interviews great again here. Let's start there. What did we hear from the president?
Cabot Phillips 1:59
Yeah, this was actually a return to tradition as Joe Biden had declined interviews the last two years. Trump sat down with Fox's Brett Baier and explained why he chose to attend the game in person. He was actually the first sitting president to ever attend a Super Bowl.
Donald Trump 2:12
I think just the spirit of the country, the country's taken on a whole new life. I thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president be at the game.
Cabot Phillips 2:20
Trump was also grilled by Bayer on his backing of Elon Musk, who really has come under fire in recent weeks for his plans to slash government spending as part of his Department of Government efficiency.
Donald Trump 2:30
And I've had a great help with Elon Musk, who's been terrific. Bottom line, you say you trust him. Trust Elon? Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's so into it. But I told him do that. Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going to go to the military. Let's check the military. We're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.
John Bickley 3:00
Trump then, of course, went to the big game. Tell us about that sequence of events.
Cabot Phillips 3:04
Yeah, it was quite a day for the president, who started the morning off with a round of golf with Tiger Woods before heading over to the Superdome for the game. Trump walked around the field during warm-ups and was greeted warmly by a number of players, including the family of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. And while the game broadcast only showed him briefly on screen, the arena burst into applause when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the national anthem. Have a listen.
Brandon 3:30
And bright stars through the perilous fight.

What are Trump's key policies and their public support?

Cabot Phillips 3:43
Now, as for the game itself, the Philadelphia Eagles denied the Kansas City Chiefs their shot at a three-peat, crushing the two-time defending champs 40-22. It was hard for this Cowboys fan to watch the Eagles celebrate, but it was their night.
John Bickley 3:57
Now, as Georgia mentioned at the top, we have some new numbers coming out over the weekend on Trump approval. What did we learn?
