FAR more hopeful, now! In many ways, it’s morning in America again!
According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, a solid majority of Americans—57%—attribute their hopeful outlook for 2025 to the incoming Trump administration.
… Overall, 85% of Republicans, 49% of Independents, and even 38% of Democrats report feeling hopeful about the coming year. It’s a remarkable shift considering the nation’s challenges: inflation, economic uncertainty, and concerns about personal finances. These struggles have taken a toll, with only 40% of Americans rating the economy as “good,” while 54% view it as being in bad shape. Yet, despite these hardships, a majority see reasons to look forward, not backward.
