Summary

A CBS News poll shows Donald Trump starts his transition with widespread approval from Republicans and net-positive ratings from Americans for his Cabinet picks, including Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.

Many expect his administration to lower grocery prices, a priority for voters amid lingering inflation concerns.

While Republicans are optimistic about the economy and America’s future, most Democrats remain apprehensive, though fewer feel motivated to oppose Trump compared to 2016.

The poll also highlights renewed GOP confidence in U.S. elections and a strong preference for increased presidential power for Trump this term.

      People who own landlines are many times more likely to vote than those who do not understand how a landline works

        Pretty sure the overwhelming majority of people that own landlines don’t have a single clue how they work. Phreakimg is nearly lost knowledge at this point.
