53% of Americans approve of Trump so far, according to a newly released CBS News/YouGov poll conducted Feb. 5 to 7, while 47% disapproved.

A large majority, 70%, said he was doing what he promised in the campaign, per the poll that was released on Sunday.

Yes, but: 66% said he was not focusing enough on lowering prices, a key campaign trail promise that propelled Trump to the White House.

44% of Republicans said Musk and DOGE should have “some” influence, while just 13% of Democrats agreed.

    My take: I see a lot of sentiment for “Trump voter regret,” but… It appears the public is getting exactly what they voted for, or so they think.

      Yeah. Despite the noise on Reddit, I suspect most of his base see what he and Musk are up to as a win.

        I think most people don’t see what he and Musk are up to.

        How could they? The rate of news is insane, people are busy. Even reporters who do this all day get burnt out.
