A recent poll reveals skepticism among Americans about Trump’s ability to reduce costs in his upcoming term
Washington: So, it looks like a lot of folks are pretty unsure about Trump’s ability to lower prices when he starts his second term. A recent poll shows that only about 20% of Americans feel really confident he can tackle costs for things like groceries and housing this year.
Even among his supporters, confidence is shaky. While about 30% believe he can create jobs, many are still worried about how he’ll handle everyday expenses. It’s kind of surprising, right? You’d think after all the talk during the campaign, people would feel more assured.
Republicans are still hopeful, though. Around 80% think he’ll be a decent president this time around. But Democrats? They’re not too optimistic either, with many expecting him to do a poor job, though their fears seem a bit less intense than before.
When it comes to the economy, only about a third of Americans feel confident in Trump’s ability to manage it. And on health care, the numbers are even lower. Just 20% believe he can make any real progress there, which is a big deal since health care costs are a huge concern for many.
Trump has talked about changing the Affordable Care Act, but he hasn’t laid out a solid plan yet. So, it’s no wonder people are skeptical. Even among Republicans, only half are really confident he can handle health care issues.
Despite all this, Trump’s popularity seems to hold steady, even with all the controversies surrounding him. As he gears up for his second term, it looks like expectations are pretty mixed. Some think he’ll do great, while others are bracing for disappointment.
