NEW: Americans Back President Trump’s Nominations, Transition
December 04, 2024
President Donald J. Trump has nominated the most competent, qualified cabinet in modern history — and new polling shows Americans agree. It's the latest proof that Americans re-elected President Trump with a mandate for sweeping change — and voters support him making good on it.
Here's what you need to know:
— More Americans than not approve of President Trump's cabinet nominees. In fact, pluralities back almost every one of President Trump's picks as they pledge to fulfill the governing mandate he earned with his resounding electoral victory.
— A majority of Americans approve of how President Trump is handling the transition, including a plurality of independents and even one-in-five Democrats. The numbers, which remain unchanged over the past three weeks, are in line with other recent polls, all of which have highlighted strong support for President Trump's transition and agenda.
— President Trump's net favorability is back "in positive territory." Meanwhile, a recent Gallup poll shows President Trump's net favorability exceeds the incumbent Biden by 17 points.
— Gallup also shows Republicans are viewed far more favorably than Democrats. The Republican Party's favorability is right in line with its 22-year average, while the Democrat Party's rating is 11 points below its average.
— Half of Americans say they're "optimistic" after President Trump's victory.
The proof is in the numbers. Americans know President Trump is already delivering on the promises he made and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet.
The best is yet to come — and it starts on January 20, 2025.
