CBS News Poll: 70% of voters think President Trump is keeping his campaign promises

I have an update

Fox News Poll Shows Dems Leading On Key Issue For First Time Since 2010​

The survey also showed that 58% of polled voters disapprove of President Donald Trump's overall job performance.

56% of them believe the Trump administration has done a poor job of managing the federal government, including 4 in 10 non-MAGA Republicans.

Asked whether Republicans or Democrats would do a better job at handling the U.S. economy, 52% said Democrats.

The results suggest a major shift in only a few years. Republicans were favored by double digits regarding the economy in 2022, and Trump vowed ahead of the 2024 election to bring down costs and inflation.

However, the Labor Department confirmed earlier this month that costs have risen by 3.3% from only a year ago, largely driven by surging gas prices after Trump launched his Middle East war in February.

Asked if the economy is getting better or worse for voters and their families, a staggering 70% said worse. The survey also found that 62% of voters called grocery prices a “major problem,” while 60% said gas prices were a major issue as well.

In the survey, 55% of voters said that healthcare costs have become a major problem for them, and 52% said housing costs were also a major issue. Trump admitted in January, “I want to drive house prices up” to protect property values for current owners.

The poll is yet another indicator that Republicans will have a difficult time in the midterms. Numerous conservative lawmakers and pundits, including current and former Fox News hosts, have issued dire warnings to the GOP about potential Democratic victories.

Your constant propaganda campaign is working.... I've admitted that before.

Why do you think that Iran wants a nuclear bomb?

 

[Correll]

And us liberals knew he would do this. I mean be pro corporation/anti labor/corrupt with our money. He's a con man. How did they not see it before?

I will never forget this sweet nice young college educated girl at the dog park told me she was going to vote for Trump. I asked why and she said "I just feel he will be better for the economy".

Okay I get that. But the people who continue to defend Trump??? Hafar1014 or Correll

They want us to give it more time. Give it another year. Trump will turn things around.

"Let him cook" is a popular slang phrase and meme meaning to allow someone to proceed with an action or idea without interruption, because they are excelling, doing something interesting, or about to produce great results. It implies giving someone freedom to showcase their skills or, sometimes, to fail spectacularly.

In another thread, you were just talking about how, to the rich, we are all *******.

You really think that the people that think we are *******, are going to be serving our interests?

Yo'......look at the depression on her face............

Illegal deportations my butt!!

He hasn't failed. He's been in office for 14 months. It's like turning around an aircraft carrier; it takes time.

It doesn't take years.

And he did try to steal the election.

No he didn't. Trump isn't as great as I thought that he would be, but he's a whole LOT better than Biden was or Kamala Harris would have been.

Trump has corrected a lot of pain for Americans.

Corrected the pain for Israelis and for not having Cackling Kamala in the White House? As I could agree with you there.

If you don't want Fetterman we'll take him.

In a heartbeat!!

It will take 2 years to reverse the Biden disaster

At least.
If not longer.
Joe Biden, the worst President in American history, did so much more damage to this country than almost anybody will admit.

In that case time's up.

You do make a really good point there but Trump sure did a 180.

This is not about Isreal.

 

[Lockback]

I don't like him softening ... I'll admit to that.

 

[ChristisKing]

This is not about Isreal.

Well it sort of is because again I am pro-Israel and I'm glad that we're helping them out but Trump is more about Israel than he is about America. That's just my opinion anyways.

 

[Hafar1014]

In that case time's up.

We still have 6 months and the economy is thriving

Im a successful investor and to do that I must be able to predict the market. I had 200,000 in gains this year. Do you have a pension then your invested in the stock market. If you dont thats on you. The DOW is strong because the economy is strong thanks to Trumps policies. Biden was a train wreck. I still made money under Biden. An investment in a business is better than an investment in the government. Help yourself. If you odnt know how to invest there is Vanguards Market Index ETF. Let them do all the work. Im in AI data centers and semiconductors as well as oil and gas pipelines. Did you know you can make an 8% dividend in a pipeline stock. MPLX 7.78% ET 6.94% WES 9% would that help your income NLY 12% thats a mortgage lender

Despite Trump's policies

The stock market has reached record highs in 2026 despite geopolitical tensions and trade concerns due to strong corporate earnings, AI-driven growth, and investor belief that Trump's threats are often bluffs (the ["TACO" - Trump Always Chickens Out] trade). Pro-growth policies like deregulation and tax cuts continue to fuel corporate profits, while market volatility creates "animal spirits" trading opportunities.

Not good for workers, not good for the environment, pro war, government spending on defense,

And all benefits the rich, not the people who got Trump elected. He already had you.

• Market Volatility Opportunities: High-frequency, news-driven market swings have created trading opportunities, sustaining activity despite underlying uncertainty.

 

[ChristisKing]

We still have 6 months and the economy is thriving

Uh no it's not. This war has been hurting the economy badly. I'm not against the war I'm just saying that gas prices are a nightmare and my grocery bill isn't all that much better.

 

[Robert W]

Isreal is being pro America. So is Trump.

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh I'm not arguing that as that's a good thing. Trump is definitely pro-America but I just don't think that he's America first anymore unfortunately.

I suggest you get news from other places than you get it. NewsMax is good.

The article from February of the year 2025 had me fooled.

I ALWAYS love the promises that Trump keeps, I just wish that he was keeping all of them.

They aren't helping America. You have no idea the damage they are doing to the American middle class. The rich are doing great. You and me? Our grandkids? Not so much.

Foreign investors are reducing their share of U.S. Treasury holdings, dropping from over 40% a decade ago to roughly 30%–32% in 2025-2026, as total U.S. debt grows faster than foreign purchasing. Major holders like China are reducing holdings, driven by concerns over U.S. fiscal sustainability, geopolitical risks, and the "weaponization" of the dollar.

This is going to raise interest rates on AMERICANS.

Trump wants to spend $1 trillion dollars on defense? That's pro America? Pro America Military Industrial Complex. Pro war. It's like corporations/AI have taken over our government. Maybe they have already taken over and we just don't know it yet.
