Poll: Americans say Trump’s priorities are off, economy dominates concerns

CNN’s SSRS poll finds broad negativity toward Trump’s performance in his return to the White House: 58% call the first year a failure, and just 36% say he has the right priorities, with 39% overall job approval. Americans identify the economy as the top national issue and are skeptical he’s effectively addressing rising living costs; independents are especially unconvinced, while Republicans remain firmly supportive. The survey also shows concerns about presidential power and cultural changes, with results from 1,209 adults collected Jan 9–12 and a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points.
