According to recent polls, a majority of Americans approve of President-elect Donald Trump's handling of the presidential transition and his plans for his upcoming second term. A Pew Research Center survey released on Friday indicated that 53% of Americans support Trump's policies and plans for his second administration, showing positive feedback in areas such as foreign policy and immigration. Notably, this is an increase from 2016 when only 40% approved of his plans. Similarly, a CBS News/YouGov poll found that 59% approve of Trump's handling of the presidential transition, with high marks across different demographics, including 56% approval among Hispanics, 65% among ages 18-29, and near-universal approval from his voters. These approval ratings suggest that Trump is entering his second term with a significant mandate from the public.
