A sizeable majority of registered voters approve of President-elect Donald Trump’s performance as he prepares for his second term in the White House, according to a new poll.
The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that 54% of respondents approve of Trump’s leadership, while 40% disapprove. The high approval rating is driven by strong support from 91% of Republicans, along with 49% of independents and 22% of Democrats who also expressed approval, The Hill reported this week.
The poll comes as President-elect Donald Trump transitions into office, set to be sworn in on January 20.
The poll revealed that at least a plurality of respondents approve of Trump’s performance across most age groups, with a majority among those aged 18 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, and 45 to 54. Among those aged 55 to 64, more approve than disapprove, while a slight majority of respondents aged 65 and older expressed disapproval, the outlet added, citing the results.
