One of Donald Trump’s five children has the most influence on the presidential election, according to a poll of ordinary Americans.
Trump’s youngest child Barron (6 feet 4 inches), his loving daughter Ivanka and second son Eric do not have as much influence as the Republican’s eldest son, Don. Jr., according to the latest DailyMail.com/JL Partners survey of more than 1,000 registered voters.
According to the survey, 28 percent, or about one in three Americans, believe that Donald Trump Jr. has the most influence on his father of any of Donald’s children.
Don Jr. has accompanied his father in his political escapades and business ventures for many years and is seen as the top family advisor to the newly elected president, apart from the incoming First Lady Melania.
Trump’s eldest son reportedly played a crucial role in his father tapping Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his vice president, spending hours reworking his father’s acceptance speech for the RNC nomination.
He has also advised his father on emerging technology such as cryptocurrency, which exposed their family to influential industry players, leading to Trump’s own crypto ventures.
In his second term, Trump will have to confront global conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, fix a seriously broken US immigration system and install his much-discussed tariff plans.
From Dad’s triumphant ride down Trump Tower’s golden escalator to announce his candidacy in 2016, to his loss and attempted overthrow of the 2020 election, to courtrooms and campaign venues across the country, all of Trump’s children are deeply intertwined in the political relations of the past ten years. events.

Ivanka, Trump’s only child to serve in his administration, had the highest number at 18 percent, followed by Barron at 10 percent, Eric at nine percent and Tiffany at a paltry four percent.
Surprisingly, but perhaps not, voters discovered that Barron has far more influence than some of his older siblings.
Just like Don Jr. Eric has done extensive campaign and business work with his father.
Still, voters think 18-year-old Barron, who spends his time at New York University in Manhattan, has more control than his older brother Eric, who lives near his father in Florida, where he heads the Trump Organization.
This sentiment was especially pronounced among younger respondents.
Voters between the ages of 18 and 29 were much more likely to believe that Barron had access to his father’s ear.
In that age group, he turned out to be the second most influential family member, ahead of Ivanka at 15 percent to her 14 percent.
On Friday, Melania noted Barron’s growing impact on his father.
“I’m very proud of him and his knowledge of politics and giving advice to his father,” she said in an interview with Fox News. “He was very vocal and set himself up for success, telling his dad which podcasters to talk to.”

Older voters, meanwhile, were the most likely to believe that Jr. and Ivanka were the most influential respectively.
Of all of Trump’s children, Ivanka was the only one to participate in her father’s first administration.
From 2017 to 2021, she served as senior advisor and later director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.
However, she has since been less active in her father’s political ambitions, barely appearing during his 2024 campaign.
Although her older brother, who has a popular political podcast, has delved deeper into his father’s presidential dealings since her time in the first administration.
Still, Don Jr. has not yet been given an official role in his father’s upcoming term.
