On the other hand, Trump gets his best favorability ratings of the survey with 47/50, considered a virtual tie, and a vast improvement over the final election rating of 38/61.
This means that six in 10 people believe that Trump is somewhat or very likely to create jobs in economically challenged areas, too, a positive rating reflected in nearly every demographic.
Voters have the most confidence, however, in Trump’s ability to fulfill his promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare, with 73% expecting him to win on that policy.
Regardless of whether they agree with the policy or not, every demo in the poll has an overwhelming majority of people who believe that it’s somewhat-to-very likely to happen.
Political analysts think that the survey reflects a more divided American electorate and a more polarized one as well. The only potential consequence of such, post-election, is the perception of a honeymoon period.
When he succeeds, Trump will get feted. But he should also expect to be criticized hard if he doesn’t deliver on his promise.
That may be most true where the expectations are the highest, particularly on the repeal of ObamaCare. If he vacillates on that, he may well create a credibility problem that will tax the relatively small amount of goodwill he has from most American voters.
