CNN Poll Finds Significant Response to Trump Transition and How Democrats Are Dealing With Defeat
A new poll from CNN finds that Americans are far more positive toward President-elect Donald Trump’s transition as compared to eight years ago and also that Democrats have largely “given up.”
CNN poll analyst Harry Enten reviewed the results in a segment on CNN, where he showed a double-digit jump in the favorability rating for Trump.
Enten said that most presidential candidates get a jump in approval rating after getting elected, but Trump got a only 1% increase following his surprise victory in 2016. That has spiked to 18% eight years later.
“Look at where we are today, significantly higher, plus 18 points. That’s 17 points higher on the presidential transition net approval rating. The bottom line is this: If eight years ago Americans were lukewarm on Donald Trump, at this particular point they’re giving him much more the benefit of the doubt,” he explained.
“A lot more Americans are in love with this transition; this much more meets the historical norm,” Enten concluded. (Read more from “CNN Poll Finds Significant Response to Trump Transition and How Democrats Are Dealing With Defeat” HERE)
