With most describing him as “tough”, "energetic," "focused," and "effective" - and as doing what he'd promised in the campaign - President Donald Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall. tinyurl.com/msx8sjjb

People are not sold on the idea of buying Greenland. Most Trump voters would approve of it, but not universally, and it's not a popular idea beyond that. It does offer a look at how people think Trump thinks: a lot of them feel he's just leveraging for a larger negotiation.

Most Americans are in favor of deportations of immigrants who are in the country illegally, just as voters were during the campaign (though not of using the military to carry that out) Trump's voters are especially in favor.

Biden’s retrospective approval today is lower than Trump's was when he was leaving office in 2021 & lower than other recent Dem Presidents, each of whom left after two terms.

Joe Biden will leave office with ratings far more negative than when he started, and a retrospective approval rating lower than any he received during the term.

There's also some sense among Dems of missed opportunity as Biden departs: just over half of Democrats think Harris could have won if Biden had stepped aside sooner. (Most Americans overall don't think so.)

Still, most say they are concerned about the state of U.S. politics right now. Many Dems describe themselves as "demoralized," along with being "exhausted" and "concerned" about U.S. politics. Few say they're even "interested," fewer say "motivated."

That's bolstered by expectations for a good economy in 2025 - higher than they currently rate it - along with wide belief among his voters that Trump will bring down grocery prices, make them financially better off.

A majority are optimistic about the next four years with Donald Trump, even more so than they were in 2017 before his first term. (Though in this hyper-partisan era, optimism for incoming presidents isn't quite as high as it once was.)

CBS News exit polling shows younger Michigan voters (age 18-29) are narrowly going for Trump right now – Biden got the support of 61% of voters 18-29 in 2020. But Harris is doing better with older voters, those ages 65 and over. Older voters make up a larger share of the state's electorate than young people do.
