A new CBS poll shows that a majority of Americans are feeling optimistic about the next four years with Donald Trump in charge, even more so than they were in 2017. In addition to feeling hopeful of an improving economy, the optimism spreads across various areas.
Per CBS:
Americans are more hopeful about the coming year generally than they were at the start of 2021, when the pandemic was still going on.
Looking overseas, more think Trump will increase peace and stability in the world than decrease it, and specifically, decrease conflict between Israel and its neighbors in the Middle East.
(In contrast, just over half look back now and say Mr. Biden’s policies created more conflict there.)
