An overwhelming number of Americans are apparently ready to roll out the welcome mat for President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll. Surprisingly, the mainstream media seems to have missed the memo that 59% of respondents approve of how Trump is handling the presidential transition. While Democrats may still be clutching their pearls, a significant portion of the public is celebrating what they view as a much-needed revival of conservative governance.
In a delightful twist, a majority of Republicans are not merely accepting Trump’s win; they are downright ecstatic about it. About 54% report feeling excited about Trump’s second term, while 41% express a hopeful outlook for his administration. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, a staggering 50% of Democrats say they are scared about the prospect of Trump’s presidency. Maybe they should consider that fear can often be a sign of weakness, as it appears they’re struggling to process the results like mature adults.
Not only do Republicans support Trump, but they also intend to rally behind him, with a whopping 78% claiming his election will boost their motivation to back him. Comparatively, only 10% of Democrats plan to support him, while a whopping 44% are ready to oppose him. It seems that in the grand arena of politics, some folks are not just surprised by the outcome, but they’re apparently ready to raise the stakes to opposing everything they can.
When it comes to the economy, a refreshing 44% of respondents anticipate that food and grocery prices will go down with Trump back in charge, while only 35% expect price hikes. It seems that the idea of a prosperous economy under Trump still resonates with a significant portion of Americans. Meanwhile, 42% believe the economy is currently in good shape, and it must shock Democrats that there was a notable uptick between October’s 36% approval rating and this new poll.

With nearly 89% of those surveyed expressing an interest in appointing Cabinet members who can speak their minds (a trait not often seen in the swamp), it’s clear that voters are looking for changes that go beyond traditional politics. Voters are demanding experience and loyalty in administration roles—qualities that could have saved the nation from a whole host of “Oops, my bad!” moments if selected wisely.
In a surprising twist, a strong 57% of voters support a mass deportation program for illegal immigrants, showcasing a robust idea of border security that the previous administration might have deemed radical. Out of curiosity, one wonders how many of those against such measures still think securing the border is just an extreme fantasy. The overall sentiment implies that while Democrats are fretting over the state of democracy, Republicans are locking in on a sense of future optimism as they look forward to addressing the challenges that lie ahead. More than half of the Republican base believes America’s best days are still on the horizon, suggesting increased faith in a brighter future.
The survey spanning over 2,200 adults reveals critical insights that comfortably align with conservative values, sending a clear message that America could be set for a revival under a leadership style that prioritizes honest communication, experience, and a firm grip on the realities facing the nation.
