Americans Doubt Trump Can Lower Costs
Despite campaigning on lowering grocery, housing, and healthcare costs, President-elect Trump acknowledges the difficulty of this goal, a sentiment reflected in public opinion. A new poll reveals that only a small percentage of Americans are very confident in his ability to achieve these price reductions. While faith in his job creation capabilities is somewhat higher, overall confidence in his economic handling remains relatively low, even among Republicans. However, Republican support for Trump remains strong, with many expecting a successful second term, while Democratic negativity, although persistent, is somewhat less intense than previously.
