Poll: Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks
Read Original Source
With most describing him as "tough," "energetic," "focused" and "effective" — and as doing what he'd promised during his campaign — President Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall. Many say he's doing more than they expected — and of those who say this, most like what they see. Very few think he's doing less.
AI Summary
Main Idea: A CBS News poll finds President Donald Trump starting his term with mostly positive approval, but many Americans say he is not focusing enough on lowering prices.
