Democrats say they're concerned or scared Trump will threaten their rights, but fewer than half feel motivated to oppose him.

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.

    I am beyond suspecting, but am solidified in the thought all this media coverage is fake…

    They perhaps interviewed a small number of people for appearance sake, lets say 25, and the data from that is extrapolated into a nationwide “opinion”.

    And Trump reads the conclusion, proclaims in a speech that he has universal approval, other folks hear him say that and think oh well he is saying it as the grand king with the whole intelligence apparatus behind him, so it must be true.

    This is what social media is about anyway (warping appearance of something) and now is rolled out over other media…

    Singular thought is steamrolled over so it all goes back in submission.

    And the populace sits there, eating the brown slurry dumped in their bowl…

    He’s doing a great job. I mean…his transition is being funded by god knows who and he has yet to sign the transition ethics papers, but what the hell? Why not?

    Reality doesn’t matter anymore.

    The U.S. is a stupid country and it’ll be fun to watch it burn over the next 4 years.

    Just remember, these people voted for this.

    Just a reminder that the US media is profit driven and like any business, is only concerned about money and its shareholders.

    If you feel strongly, organize and show up.
