President Donald Trump has started his second stint in the White House by 
earning positive reviews from Americans, with especially high marks given 
for the president keeping campaign promises.

A large majority of Americans, 70%, believe Trump is doing "what he 
promised" during the campaign, while just 30% believe the president’s 
agenda has been "different from promised," according to the results of a 
CBS/YouGov poll released on Sunday.

The poll found that Trump’s overall approval on the job so far is 53%, 
with 47% of respondents indicating they disapprove. Voters also used 
positive words to describe the president, with 69% describing him as 
tough, 63% energetic, 60% focused, and 58% effective.

Many Americans also approve of the job Trump has done so far on key 
issues, with 59% saying they approve of his program to deport illegal 
immigrants, while 41% said they do not approve. A larger majority, 64%, 
indicated they approve of the president’s plan to send U.S. troops to the 
U.S-Mexico border, while 36% disapprove.

A majority also responded that they approve of Trump’s handling of the 
Israel-Hamas conflict, with 54% of Americans saying they approve, compared 
with 46% who disapprove. However, Americans are less sure about the 
president’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza following the war, 
with just 13% responding that it is a "good idea," while 47% say it is a 
"bad idea" and 40% marked that they were not sure.

A slimmer majority approved of Elon Musk and DOGE, with 23% of Americans 
indicating that they believe the new agency should have "a lot" of 
influence over government spending and 28% answering that it should have 
"some," for a total of 51%. Meanwhile, 18% replied that DOGE should have 
"not much" influence over government spending and 31% said it should have 
"none," for a total of 49%.

But Trump did score some lower marks when it came to his economic agenda, 
most notably on his efforts to tackle inflation, with 66% indicating the 
president has not committed enough attention to lowering prices, while 31% 
believe Trump has focused on the issue the "right amount" and 3% indicated 
the president has focused "too much" on the issue.

Americans were split when it comes to tariffs, with 56% offering approval 
of such levies to China, while only 44%, 40%, and 38% felt similarly about 
tariffs on Mexico, Europe and Canada, respectively.

The CBS/YouGov poll was conducted between Feb. 5-7, surveying 2,175 U.S. 
adults. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage 
points.
