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.
