The honeymoon is not over for President Trump. According to CBS.com/YouGov polling, Trump has good but not great overall approval numbers for the job he is doing. Apparently, the voters polled like his energy level and are not yet demanding concrete results.
However, in particular areas of that CBS/YouGov poll, voters by a 47% margin said it would be a bad idea to take over Gaza and not let the Palestinians return – Trump’s stated goal. This idea is supported by only 13% of those polled, with the remaining 40% unsure.
Those polled also indicated they appreciated Trump‘s promise to lower prices. However, after three weeks in office, 66% of those polled indicated that Trump was not doing enough to bring prices down, while 31% felt he was doing enough. Reminder: during the campaign, Trump did say he would be bringing prices down beginning on "Day One."
While the MAGAs claim that Trump has a "mandate" to do what he is doing, he won by only 1.5% of the vote. It is very likely that the voters who put Trump over the top were those struggling with personal finance problems. These are the "Breadwinners," aka "Heads of Households" sitting down at the kitchen table with a yellow pad, after the kids have gone to bed, trying to figure out how they’re going to make it through the month-- how they will finance a car repair or the uninsured part of a medical procedure. In an election where Trump won by only 1.5%, these voters are likely to be far less patient than the average of those polled by CBS.
