New Poll Reinforces President Trump’s MAGA Mandate

November 24, 2024

A new CBS News poll finds overwhelming support for President Donald J. Trump's transition and agenda ahead of his inauguration in January. The results are in line with other recent polls, which also found wide backing of his performance.

 

Here's what you need to know:

  • More Americans than not approve of President Trump's top cabinet nominees.

  • Americans overwhelmingly back President Trump's performance during the transition. In fact, nearly six-in-ten Americans say they approve of how President Trump has handled his job performance as president-elect. 

  • Americans support President Trump's plan for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens. The policy is backed by most independent voters and strong majorities of voters across every age group — in line with other recent polls, which have consistently shown majority support for this signature Trump policy.

  • Most Americans favor imposing tariffs on imported goods. This widely touted proposal is a key cornerstone of President Trump's Made in America agenda.

  • A plurality of Americans say President Trump will make food and grocery prices go down.

 

President Trump will take office in January with an unprecedented mandate after his resounding Electoral College and popular vote wins — aided by massive swings among virtually all demographics.

 

The best is yet to come.
