HUFFPOLLSTER: Two-Thirds Of Americans Think Trump’s Presidency Means Change Is Coming

Americans view Donald Trump as an agent of change. Most voters don’t regret their choice. And views on discrimination are highly polarized. This is HuffPollster for Tuesday, November 22, 2016.

MOST EXPECT TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY TO BRING CHANGE - Jennifer Agiesta: “Two weeks after Election Day, most Americans say President-elect Donald Trump will ultimately do a good job as president, though fewer approve of the way he’s handled the transition so far, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll. A narrow majority (53%), say they think Trump will do a very or fairly good job as president, and 40% say they have a lot of confidence in Trump to deal with the economy, a share that outpaces the percentage who had that much confidence in Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan ahead of their first inaugurations….All told, 66% say a Trump presidency will bring change to the country, but just 43% say it will be change for the better, twenty points below the 63% who thought Obama would bring change for the better in November 2008….Reviews are mixed for Trump’s transition so far, 46% approve of his handling of the transition, 45% disapprove. Those marks are well below approval ratings for Obama, Bush or Clinton during their transitions to the presidency.” [CNN]
