New data shows huge momentum behind President Donald J. Trump, his cabinet nominations, and his second term agenda. Just six weeks after his overwhelming electoral victory, President Trump is better positioned than ever to enact the sweeping changes for which Americans voted.

Here's what you need to know:

• A majority of Americans approve of how President Trump is handling the presidential transition, according to a new CNN poll. The number, which includes majorities of women and young people, is about ten points higher than at this point in 2016 — and is in line with other recent surveys, which consistently show strong majorities giving President Trump high marks.

• Americans have confidence in President Trump's ability to handle the most important issues, according to the CNN poll. Most Americans express confidence in his ability to handle the economy, Russia/Ukraine, immigration, providing leadership, foreign affairs, appointing the best people, and using power responsibly.

• A majority of Americans expect President Trump to do a good job once he officially returns to office, according to the CNN poll. In fact, half of Americans say President Trump will bring "change for the better" — including nearly half of women and younger Americans.
  
  
• Americans view President Donald J. Trump more favorably than ever, according to a new Morning Consult poll. In these numbers, a full half of all Americans have a favorable view of President Trump, whose favorability rating is at its highest in at least four years.

As President Trump prepares to take office, the enthusiasm is undeniable. Americans are ready for a return to strong, decisive leadership — and President Trump is ready to deliver.
