Trump's Approval Rating Reaches 53 Percent in New CBS Poll

A recent CBS News poll reveals President Donald Trump enjoying a 53% approval rating just weeks into his second term, marking a significant improvement from his first term. The poll indicates that 70% of respondents believe he is fulfilling his campaign promises, particularly regarding immigration and national security, with 59% supporting his deportation initiatives and 64% approving of deploying troops to the southern border. Public perception remains largely positive, with many describing Trump as tough, energetic, and focused. However, opinions on his handling of international issues like the Israel-Hamas conflict show division, with only 13% supporting the idea of U.S. control over Gaza. Additionally, a majority of Americans express mixed feelings about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, with 51% believing it should have some influence on government operations. Overall, Americans appear cautiously optimistic about Trump's early actions in office, despite concerns regarding economic policies and international conflicts.
