Despite concerns about tariffs, a majority of Americans are optimistic about the Trump agenda, according to a poll.

According to a poll from Monmouth University, most Americans express optimism about the policies President-elect Trump will implement in his upcoming administration.

A recent poll revealed that 53% of Americans are either very or somewhat optimistic about Trump's second term, which is a slight increase from the 50% who were optimistic before his first term. However, the only group of Americans who are less optimistic about Trump's second term than they were about his first are Democrats, with only 10% expressing excitement for the next four years.

According to Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, it is not surprising that there is a significant partisan divide on the Trump agenda. The real issue is how these policies will impact American families, particularly those who supported Trump in 2024.

According to a poll, 47% of respondents believe that Trump's tariff agenda will harm their family, while only 23% expect it to benefit them. On the other hand, 48% of respondents believe that Trump's plan to eliminate income tax for certain wages will help their family, compared to 15% who believe it will harm them.

A poll was conducted by Monmouth from December 5th to 10th, involving 1,006 U.S. adults through phone interviews and online surveys. The poll has a margin of error of 3.9%.

Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer, accusing them of committing "brazen election interference" and fraud by publishing a final 2024 presidential poll showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading him in Iowa. Despite winning the state by 13 points, Trump is still cruising toward his second inauguration and has begun targeting perceived enemies in the media.

A lawsuit was filed Monday night in Polk County, Iowa, under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act and related provisions. The lawsuit seeks "accountability for brazen election interference committed by" the Des Moines Register (DMR) and Selzer "in favor of now-defeated former Democrat candidate Kamala Harris through use of a leaked and manipulated Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll conducted by Selzer and S&C and published by DMR and Gannett in the Des Moines Register on Nov. 2, 2024." The lawsuit is also against the parent company of the Des Moines Register, Gannett, which also owns other publications, including USA Today.

Trump attorneys claimed that Selzer had a reputation for accuracy, but they also pointed out that she had made several polling mistakes in favor of Democrats, which they said were not widely publicized. They also argued that Selzer's worst polling miss happened just before a crucial election and was leaked, which they said was a coincidence.

"The Harris Poll was not a "miss" but an attempt to sway the 2024 Presidential Election outcome, according to the lawsuit. The defendants and their allies in the Democrat Party aimed to use the poll to create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the election."

"President Trump's November 5 election victory was a monumental triumph in both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, signaling a strong mandate for his America First principles and relegating the radical socialist agenda to the dustbin of history."

After more than 35 years in the industry, Selzer retired in disgrace following an embarrassing loss in a poll less than two weeks before the election.
