WASHINGTON, D.C. — Majorities of Americans believe President Donald Trump keeps his promises, is a strong and decisive leader, and can bring about changes the country needs, according to Gallup.
– 62% of Americans say Trump keeps his promises; 42% believe he is honest
– Trump rated better now than before the election on five qualities
– Republicans much more positive than Democrats
These results are based on Gallup interviewing conducted Feb. 1-5, updating Americans’ views of Trump on seven presidential qualities and characteristics, including five that Gallup assessed during the presidential campaign.
The characteristics that Americans are most likely to say apply to Trump clearly reflect the key message of his inaugural address and his actions since taking office over three weeks ago. He made a large number of promises during his presidential campaign, and Americans give him the most credit for following through on those promises. His series of executive orders and Cabinet appointments show a president who is decisive and trying to bring about change, also qualities that a majority of Americans (59% and 53%, respectively) say apply to him.
