A Pew Research Center survey indicates that a majority of Americans support President-elect Donald Trump’s plan for the next four years. Fifty-three percent approve of the approach, while fifty-nine percent express confidence that Republicans will pursue economic policies that strengthen the economy. More than fifty-three percent believe Trump can address crime and illegal immigration. The findings come from Pew Research Center’s data collection.
Beyond economics, the poll captures broader public sentiment. A clear majority—about sixty percent—trust Republicans to pursue policies that bolster the economy, while more than half—over fifty-three percent—believe Trump can help solve the problems of crime and illegal immigration in the United States. The data also reflect a trend in how different groups perceive leadership and policy priorities in this moment of political transition.
The poll also highlights emotional reactions among Democratic supporters after the election, with roughly three-quarters expressing fear about the country’s direction during Trump’s presidency. The results underscore the intensity of feelings on both sides and the stakes associated with policy choices during the new administration.
The election took place on November 5, featuring Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump contesting the presidency. In the American electoral system, a candidate must secure at least 270 electoral votes to win. The final tally shows Trump with 312 electoral votes and Harris with 226. Electors met to cast their ballots on December 17, finalizing the electoral outcome.
The inauguration of the 47th president was held on January 20, 2025, marking the official transition of power and the start of the new administration’s governing agenda. Supporters tied to the Trump campaign have voiced a belief in the goal of restoring world peace as part of their broader policy outlook and national security strategy.
