Social Media Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 A new CBS/YouGov poll reveals that a majority of Americans—approximately three out of five adults—approve of how President-elect Donald Trump is handling his transition to the presidency. Conducted between November 19 and 22 with a representative sample of 2,232 U.S. adults, the survey sheds light on the nation's mood following Trump’s election victory, which has been accompanied by controversial cabinet nominations and promises of sweeping policy changes. The poll indicates that 59% of respondents are generally positive about Trump’s transition efforts. Additionally, 55% of Americans report feeling either happy or satisfied with his victory. The reactions, however, highlight a sharp partisan divide. Among Republicans, an overwhelming 95% express optimism or excitement about Trump's presidency. In stark contrast, only 15% of Democrats share those sentiments, reflecting a deeply polarized political climate. This divide is also evident in the attitudes toward opposition to Trump. While some Democrats remain committed to resisting his agenda, only 44% report feeling motivated to oppose him. The remaining majority seem to exhibit a sense of fatigue or resignation as the transition unfolds. Trump's cabinet picks, which have drawn considerable media attention and public scrutiny, were also a focal point of the survey. Most self-identified Trump voters strongly support his nominees, including figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth. However, when all voters are considered, opinions are more mixed. A notable portion of respondents expressed uncertainty, indicating they lacked sufficient information about the nominees. Republicans appear split on how the confirmation process for Trump’s appointees should proceed. While 55% support the traditional Senate hearing process, 45% believe the nominees should be approved without hearings—a move that would break with longstanding procedural norms. On policy matters, Trump’s controversial proposals have gained significant traction among the public. For instance, 52% of respondents approve of his tariff plans aimed at reshaping trade policy. Similarly, 57% support implementing a program for mass deportations, one of Trump’s most polarizing campaign promises. These findings suggest that despite partisan divides, some of Trump’s policy ideas resonate with a broad swath of Americans. The CBS/YouGov poll’s margin of error is ±2.3 percentage points, offering a statistically reliable glimpse into public opinion during this critical period of political transition. While Trump enjoys significant approval among his base and some independents, the nation remains deeply divided as it braces for the dramatic changes his administration is likely to bring.

Popular Post jippytum Posted November 27, 2024 Popular Post Posted November 27, 2024 I think the ratio in favour of Trump is a lot higher than that but will accept that result from a Dems biased poll for starters. 3 2

I don't think that the higher ratio which you claim is really supported by the fact that under (just under but still under) 50% actually voted for him. I would also question whether 2232 is a representative cross sample, an odd figure which perhaps, to my cynical mind, suggests that those conducting the poll stopped asking the questions when they had amassed the required answer! 2
JonnyF Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Why wouldn't they approve? (unless they were a salty Liberal). He is putting his country first. Quite a low threshold, but quite unlike many western political leaders. 1 2

Chomper Higgot Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 I expect the rejection of Gaetz as the AG pushed the numbers up. Though I doubt most Americans are giving Trump’s transition much thought at all while Trump’s absence from social media and public appearances can only help quieten public perception of what’s going on. 1 1
Tropicalevo Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Were any woman allowed to vote? Or did their husbands tell them what to do?

bunnydrops Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 To show the validity of this poll, A random poll of people on the street was done. But instead of using the names of the people that Trump selected, they put in random names, including Charles Mason and Laura Croft. Over 70% said they believe he made good choices. 1

If you define "losers" as the voters who did not vote for Trump, they actually are in the majority, about 50.2%. Trump did not win the majority of the popular vote, only about 49.8%, but those votes were in states that allowed him to easily win the Electoral College vote, which elects the president.

dinsdale Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 The toddler tantrum throwers will continue to spit their dummies and never accept that the majority of US citizens voted to kick out the Democrats. Trump won and won everything on offer. That's a fact. How things will go we'll have to wait and see. No point rolling around the floor kicking and screaming now. Time to grow up. Sadly it seems the mind virus is strong.

If certain posters on here stopped echoing the MSNBC/MSM anti-Trump rhetoric all would be quite. The adults in the room have simply reacted to the toddlers. Rationality vs irrationality. You'll also notice that those who think the outcome is what it is, a democratic election where the victor won everything on offer, don't use emojis in every single one of their posts, indeed at all.

You also seem to have a thing about news media outlets that YOU don't like and emojis, which is also a bit strange...........

Quite a low threshold, but quite unlike many western political leaders. That is one (liberal with a small l) interpretation. Others might suggest that he is putting himself first, followed by those who contributed financially to his campaign, and finally his political supporters - both individuals and various groups, the latter essentially racially based. His policies to satisfy them are going to damage his country economically, and trash it socially. Still, it will keep him out of prison; astonishing really, the repercussions for 335 million people of a quick paid for shag with a pornstar! Still, he was elected, although not, it now appears by a majority or a landslide! 2

Given we don't know who Charles Mason is that's surprising. When they said he made good choices perhaps they thought the poll was referring to Lora Croft the porn actress.
