Trump's return to office greeted with optimism, high expectations — CBS News poll
A majority of Americans are optimistic about the next four years with Donald Trump, even more so than they were in 2017 before his first term. That's bolstered by Americans' 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 and bring more peace and stability to the world. For Carter and Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama, CBS News polling at the time showed higher optimism than either President Biden in 2021 or Trump today enjoys. Just as economic views and inflation propelled Trump to a win, today many Americans — especially Trump's voters — expect to be financially better off. On imposing tariffs on imported goods, Trump's voters overwhelmingly favor the idea, while a slight majority of Americans overall are opposed.
