Latest Poll Brings More Good News for Trump and His Plans As President

With the election having taken place just over three weeks ago now, there's been a slew of polls released on how Americans feel about President-elect Donald Trump and his transition. They've not only all mostly brought good news for Trump, but bad news for Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats, plus their talking points as well. On Wednesday, yet another new poll came out about the Trump transition, with some more good news, some of the best he's had, in fact.

The latest poll from The Economist/YouGov shows that by 48-47 percent, Trump has a favorable/unfavorable rating among all respondents, and 49-48 percent among registered voters. He's viewed favorably by male respondents (50-46 percent), white respondents (53-44 percent), and even Hispanic respondents (48-45 percent). 

In addition to this pattern of polls showing favorable ratings for Trump among Hispanic voters, another shocking trend is how Trump does particularly well with young voters, those 18-29. With this poll, Trump has a 52-40 percent favorable rating among such a demographic.

He also has a not insignificant 28 percent favorable rating from black respondents, as the Emerson College poll from Tuesday also showed. 

Although the poll doesn't ask about respondents' favorable views when it comes to Vice President Kamala, President Joe Biden has just a 39 percent favorable rating, while 57 percent view him unfavorably. He's also at a 38-55 percent approval/disapproval rating as president. The only demographics where a majority approve of Biden's job include 59 percent of black respondents, 82 percent of Harris voters, 76 percent of liberals, 81 percent of Democrats, and 78 percent of those who lean Democrat.

The Republican Party is also viewed more positively, with a 45-47 percent favorable/unfavorable rating, compared to the Democratic Party that is viewed favorably by just 39 percent, while 53 percent view the party unfavorably.

The poll also asked respondents about their views on various parts of Trump's plans for his second term as president. The plans, five in total, vary considerably among topic issue, and they almost all enjoy support. The poll also asked respondents if they think Trump will actually enact such plans. 

When it comes to ending automatic citizenship to those children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, there's the support of 45-42 percent among overall respondents and 49-42 percent of registered voters. Half of overall respondents (55 percent) and registered voters (61 percent) believe Trump will actually put an end to it. 

Funding a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border enjoys the support of overall respondents by 57-34 percent and registered voters by 59-36 percent. A plurality or majority of all age groups, sexes, and ethnic groups support such a plan, including Hispanics, who support the proposal by 47-40 percent. Only those who voted for Harris, Democrats, liberals, and those who lean Democrat oppose such a proposal. Seventy-five percent of overall respondents and 79 percent of registered voters believe he actually will fund the wall.

Allowing more drilling on federal law enjoys the support of overall respondents by 46-35 percent and of registered voters by 50-37 percent. Sixty-percent of overall respondents and 74 percent of registered voters believe Trump will allow for more drilling. 

Banning men from participating in women's sports, phrased by the poll as, "Banning transgender athletes from playing on women’s sports teams." This one enjoys the most wide support, of 61-25 percent among overall respondents, and 65-25 percent among registered voters. The only demographic where a majority disapprove of such a plan is the 53 percent of liberals. Seventy percent of overall respondents and 78 percent of registered voters actually believe Trump will enact such a ban. 

As Townhall has covered at length, transgender issues and concerns about boys and men competing in girls' and women's sports were a particularly winning issue for Republicans this election cycle. Worse for Democrats is that they and their allies in the mainstream media keep doubling down on dismissing the issue and/or forcing those out who dare to speak truth to power. 

Even before the election took place, the issue was putting Democrats in disarray, as soon to be former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who lost to Republican Sen.-elect Bernie Moreno, and Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who failed to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz learned the hard way. 

The transgender athletes issue appears in several other questions in the poll as well. By 60-19 percent among overall respondents and 63-19 percent among registered voters, there is opposition to transgender athletes. The only demographic in support is, again, liberals who support transgender athletes by 43-33 percent.

Further, 41 percent of overall respondents and 42 percent of registered voters most agree with the statement that "Our society has gone too far in accepting people who are transgender."

The only plan that did not enjoy such support included reducing the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 15 percent, though overall respondents were pretty much evenly split at 40-41 percent in support, and registered voters were at 43-44 percent in support. Nevertheless, 60 percent of overall respondents and 65 percent of registered respondents believe he will. 

The poll was conducted November 23-26, with 1,590 overall respondents with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage point. The poll also included 1,412 registered voters, for whom the MOE was plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
