As President Donald J. Trump prepares to take office in just over 60 days, a pair of new polls show Americans lending their strong approval to his transition, cabinet nominations, and policy proposals.

Here's what you need to know:

A majority of Americans — including a plurality of independents — approve of President Trump's transition performance.

Americans strongly back President Trump's agenda.

• Nearly two-thirds support his plan to cut taxes.
  
  
• A majority support his plans for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens and finishing the southern border wall.
  
  
• A plurality support his plans to expand oil and gas drilling on federal lands, downsize the federal bureaucracy, and impose tariffs.

A majority of Americans expect the country to start heading in a better direction once President Trump takes office in January.

Finally, President Trump earns strong support for his slate of cabinet nominations — Americans whose allegiance is not to the bureaucratic state perpetuating America's decline, but to the hardworking men and women of the country.

It begins on January 20, 2025.
