CBS News poll — Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised
By Anthony Salvanto, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna
With most describing him as "tough," "energetic," "focused" and "effective" — and as doing what he'd promised during his campaign — President Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall.
Many say he's doing more than they expected — and of those who say this, most like what they see. Very few think he's doing less.
His partisans and his voters, in particular, say he's got the right amount of focus on matters like ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs and deporting those who are in the country illegally.
His deportation policy finds majority approval overall — just as most voters said they wanted during the campaign — and that extends to sending troops to the border, too.
But one key issue looms: Most Americans say the administration isn't focused enough on lowering prices. Inflation was a key reason Mr. Trump won the election.
