Rampant popularity, less than two months after his inauguration. Donald Trump, elected the 47th president of the United States in early November, has gained widespread popularity since his victory against Kamala Harris. The Republican gained 18 points in popularity according to a poll commissioned by CNN and CBS News and conducted between November 19 and 22. Across the Atlantic, no president-elect has ever experienced such an increase.
In November 2016, after his first election, Donald Trump obtained only one point, proof that his return to the White House arouses the enthusiasm of the majority of Americans. Another proof of this are the figures: 59% of them approve of “Donald Trump’s management of the presidential transition.”
The composition of the administration does not inspire support
Most Americans (53%, up from 46% in 2016) are enthusiastic or optimistic about the idea of Donald Trump returning to power, including a large share of Republican voters (95%), up from 15%. of Democratic voters. Among Kamala Harris supporters, 10% believe the billionaire’s election “drives them to support him,” while 44% are “motivated to oppose him.”
Americans are optimistic about their country’s economic future over the next four years. Only 35% of respondents believe that the Republican elected official’s mandate “will increase the price of food.” More and more Americans (42% today compared to 36% a month ago) consider their national economy to be “good.”
A dark side for the future tenant of the White House, his decisions to compose his administration are divisive. The nominations of Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health or Pete Hegseth for the Pentagon are not approved by the majority of Americans.
This CBS News/YouGov poll was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2,232 American adults surveyed between November 19 and November 22, 2024. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationally. The margin of error is ±2.3 points.
