President Donald Trump continues to enjoy a healthy approval rating with the majority of respondents in a recent poll using words like “tough” and “energetic” to describe the Republican Chief Executive.

The poll from CBS News/YouGov showed Trump’s approval rating at 53% compared to 47% who disapprove of the job he’s doing roughly a month after taking office. The same poll showed 69% said he was “tough” and 63% said he was “energetic,” with 60% describing him as “focused” and 58% as “effective.”

Trump also scored higher among respondents for keeping his campaign promises, whether they personally agreed with his policies or not. Seventy percent said Trump’s second term work matches what he pledged to do during the campaign compared to 30% who said it was different than what he promised.

On specific issues:

• 59% approve of the Trump administration’s program to deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.
• 64% support sending U.S. troops to the Mexican border to stem the flow of people coming into the country illegally. The idea of creating large detention centers to hold those who are awaiting deportment was less popular, however, with only 48% backing the idea.
• 54% support Trump’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Less popular, however, was the idea that the U.S. take over Gaza with 47% saying that it was a bad idea compared to 40% who were unsure and 13% who said it was a good idea.
• Trump did not score well when people were asked if the president was doing enough to lower prices. Sixty-six percent said the president wasn’t doing enough compared to 31% who said he was doing the right amount and 3% who said he was doing too much.
• The public was divided on tariffs, with 56% supporting imposing higher charges on China while tariffs on Mexico, Europe and Canada had a net unfavorable rating.
• 31% said they thought Elon Musk and DOGE’s influence over government operations and spending should be none while 28% said the cost-cutting group should have “some” say. Twenty-three percent said they should have “a lot” of influence and 18% said “not much.”

The CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a sample of 2,175 U.S. adults interviewed between Feb. 5-7. It has a margin of error of plus/minus 2.5 points.
