According to a recent CNN poll, Americans overwhelmingly support President-elect Donald Trump’s transition efforts as he prepares to enter the Oval Office for another term.
From CNN:
Most Americans expect President-elect Donald Trump to do a good job upon his return to the White House next month (54%) and a majority approves of how he’s handling the presidential transition so far (55%), according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.
…
The findings suggest the president-elect has earned a honeymoon period with the public as he prepares to return to the White House after being voted out four years ago amid broadly negative approval ratings of his own. But the poll finds positive sentiment toward Trump often trails the level that greeted other recent incoming presidents, even when he outperforms his own previous transition numbers.
…
That change has not come uniformly across party lines. Republicans have grown more positive about the state of the country post-election: 30% say things are going well now, up from 14% at the start of 2024 and higher than at any point during Biden’s time in office. Independents are also more bullish on the country’s direction: 43% say things are going well, 56% badly. That’s the largest share of independents to say things are going well since January 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic began.
Conservative commentator and comedian Tim Young shared a clip of CNN reviewing the poll on X, saying “A CNN poll says Americans overwhelmingly support Trump and his transition moves. Let me repeat that… a CNN poll. The tide has turned.”
