President Donald Trump has started his second stint in the White House by
earning positive reviews from Americans, with especially high marks given
for the president keeping campaign promises.

A large majority of Americans, 70%, believe Trump is doing "what he
promised" during the campaign, while just 30% believe the president’s
agenda has been "different from promised," according to the results of a
CBS/YouGov poll released on Sunday.

The poll found that Trump’s overall approval on the job so far is 53%,
with 47% of respondents indicating they disapprove. Voters also used
positive words to describe the president, with 69% describing him as
tough, 63% energetic, 60% focused, and 58% effective.

Many Americans also approve of the job Trump has done so far on key
issues, with 59% saying they approve of his program to deport illegal
immigrants, while 41% said they do not approve. A larger majority, 64%,
indicated they approve of the president’s plan to send U.S. troops to the
U.S-Mexico border, while 36% disapprove.

A majority also responded that they approve of Trump’s handling of the
Israel-Hamas conflict, with 54% of Americans saying they approve, compared
with 46% who disapprove. However, Americans are less sure about the
president’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza following the war,
with just 13% responding that it is a "good idea," while 47% say it is a
"bad idea" and 40% marked that they were not sure.

A slimmer majority approved of Elon Musk and DOGE, with 23% of Americans
indicating that they believe the new agency should have "a lot" of
influence over government spending and 28% answering that it should have
"some," for a total of 51%. Meanwhile, 18% replied that DOGE should have
"not much" influence over government spending and 31% said it should have
"none," for a total of 49%.

But Trump did score some lower marks when it came to his economic agenda,
most notably on his efforts to tackle inflation, with 66% indicating the
president has not committed enough attention to lowering prices, while 31%
believe Trump has focused on the issue the "right amount" and 3% indicated
the president has focused "too much" on the issue.

Americans were split when it comes to tariffs, with 56% offering approval
of such levies to China, while only 44%, 40%, and 38% felt similarly about
tariffs on Mexico, Europe and Canada, respectively.

The CBS/YouGov poll was conducted between Feb. 5-7, surveying 2,175 U.S.
adults. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage
points.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
