A great majority of citizens believe President Donald Trump is delivering upon his campaign promises, according to a new poll.
In his first few weeks in office, Trump has signed a record number of executive orders centered on implementing mass deportations of illegal immigrants, rolling back diversity equity, and inclusion mandates, and implementing tariffs. The CBS survey, conducted between Feb. 5-7 of 2,175 U.S. adults, found that 70% believe the president is doing what he said he would.
Cracking down on illegal immigration was a major part of Trump’s campaign, and the Pentagon has already sent 1,600 active-duty troops to the southern border with plans to send more. The poll revealed that 64% are in favor of Trump sending troops to the southern border.

When it comes to tariffs, 49% of respondents say that the Trump administration is focusing too much on implementing tariffs on other countries, namely Mexico, Canada, and China; 43% of them said they are focusing the right amount on the task.
