This unprecedented support outshines any he received during his first term, reflecting a resurgence of belief in Trump’s leadership and policies.
While partisan divisions remain, this renewed confidence bolsters his agenda as he navigates national and global challenges.
The CBS/YouGov poll, conducted with 2,175 American adults and a margin of error of +/- 2.5 points, reveals that half of the country supports Trump’s presidential performance.
In stark contrast to the first term, where such endorsement was elusive, these figures show a strong backing for a president who many perceive to keep his campaign promises.
This message resonates with 70% of respondents who, regardless of their personal approval, acknowledge that President Trump follows through on his campaign commitments.
While 47% of those surveyed disapprove of Trump’s performance, the survey highlights that potential political gains lie ahead for the administration.
Anthony Salvanto emphasizes that “He’s doing in the eyes of the public what he said he would do in the campaign. There’s political value in that. In fact, 70% of people say he’s doing what he promised,” cited by Mediaite.
His resolute actions and vigorous leadership continue to be a cornerstone of his appeal among Americans.
Despite this strong approval rating, Americans express concerns over certain policy areas.
Sixty-six percent of respondents, including nearly half of Republicans, believe the administration needs to focus more on lowering prices.
Additionally, opinions on tariffs are divided, with a majority supporting tariffs on China but opposing those on Mexico, Canada, and potential tariffs on European nations.
These mixed responses suggest that while many back Trump’s approach, there are still economic issues that require attention.
Partisan divides are unmistakable; 91% of Republicans support Trump, while only 6% of Democrats and 46% of independents share this sentiment.
This stark contrast reflects the deep-rooted political polarization that characterizes the current political climate.
The early approval rating being higher than in 2017 indicates a potential increase in flexibility for Trump, as polling trends suggest compared to eight years ago.
A significant portion of Americans, 50%, believe that Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) teams should have substantial influence over governmental operations and spending.
This figure rises to 74% among Republicans, highlighting a preference for innovation and efficiency in government functions.
These findings capture a snapshot of the national sentiment as Trump’s second term takes off.
As the administration tackles domestic and international issues, these approval ratings serve as both a mandate and a challenge to pursue policies that align with the expectations of those who continue to place their trust in the president.
