Majority of Americans approve of Trump’s plans and policies for the future: poll:

More than half of Americans support President-elect Donald Trump’s general agenda as he prepares for his second term in the White House, according to a poll released Friday.

The Pew Research Center survey found 53% of Americans “somewhat” or “strongly” approve of the president-elect’s agenda, while 46% disapprove.

Support for Trump’s second-term plans broke along party lines, with 88% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents approving and 82% of Democrats and Democratic leaners disapproving.

Nearly 60% of respondents indicated they were confident in the 78-year-old president-elect’s ability to make good decisions about economic policy, the survey found.

Majorities also expressed confidence in Trump when it comes to issues related to law enforcement and criminal justice (54%), immigration (53%) and foreign policy (53%).

Most Americans (55%) described Trump as “mentally sharp,” and 51% said they believe he will keep his campaign promises.

The post-election positive vibes toward Trump have never been stronger, the poll found, with 43% giving the 45th president a “warm” or “very warm” rating on Pew’s “feeling thermometer.”

In contrast, Trump’s warm rating was only 34% after the 2020 election and 36% after the 2016 contest.

More Americans indicated that they were satisfied with the direction of the country post-election (29%) than in October (23%), but a massive majority of 70% remain dissatisfied with the way things are going. —>READ MORE HERE

Americans trust Trump the most on the economy, law enforcement, and criminal justice.

Americans are expressing “warmer” feelings toward President-elect Donald Trump after his 2024 election victory than after the 2016 and 2020 elections, according to survey results published by Pew Research Center on Friday.

A majority of Americans (53%) said they approve of Trump’s plans for his second term, while 46% disapprove, according to Pew Research. The survey, which received responses from more than 9,500 adults from November 12 to 17, showed that Americans expressed the most confidence in Trump’s ability to handle economic policy (59%), law enforcement and criminal justice (54%), immigration (53%), and foreign policy (53%).

On the issues of abortion and unifying the country, however, fewer Americans expressed confidence in Trump’s plans — 45% are confident in Trump’s handling of abortion, while 41% are confident that he can unite the country.

Pew also asked respondents to indicate how they felt about Trump, ranging from “very warm” and “warm” to “cold” and “very cold.” Forty-three percent of respondents said they felt “warm” or “very warm” toward Trump, a significant increase from 34% after the 2020 election and 36% after the 2016 election.

The positive results for Trump from the Pew survey come just days after a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll showing that 54% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as he prepares for another term, The Hill reported. According to the poll, 91% of Republicans, 49% of independents, and 22% of Democrats approve of how Trump is handling the transition period. —>READ MORE HERE
