A wave of frustration over prolonged inflation helped power Trump to victory in November, and a majority of respondents - 58% - said inflation would be a major factor in deciding their vote in future elections. But just 32% approved of the job Trump was doing on inflatio n.
Sixty percent of respondents said the so-called Department of Government Efficiency task force for cutting federal spending, which is led by Elon Musk, would influence their vote in the next federal elections in 2026, when Democrats will seek to win back control of Congress. But only 42% of the country supports the endeavor and 53% oppose it.
Trump's call to abolish the Department of Education -- a move that would require Congress' support - met with broad opposition, with 65% of respondents overall and four in 10 Republicans opposed.
55% - supported increasing deportations, compared to 41% who were opposed. But Trump's performance on immigration was approved by less than half of respondents - 47%.
Just 25% of respondents - and only half of Republicans - said they supported Trump's idea of having the U.S. government take over Gaza and resettle Palestinians elsewhere.
I guess the honeymoon is over.
