The latest signs of hope were revealed in a pre-inauguration survey published by Gallup THURSDAY. The polling company called the results mixed, but they showed very positive results on issues addressed by Trump in his third successful attempt at the presidency.

On issues such as improving race relations and health care as well as improving the environment, Gallup said Americans had less confidence in Trump. But the new 47th president never put these issues on his list of major promises.

On eight key issues, all of which Trump emphasized during his campaign against Biden and then Vice President Kamala Harris, the majority think he will succeed. They are:

Control illegal immigration at 68%.
Reduce unemployment, 60%.
Protect the United States from terrorism, 60%.
Improve the economy, 58%.
Keeping the nation out of war, 55%.
Tax reduction, 54%.
Reduce crime, 51%.
Growing respect for America, 50%.

The areas where the nation does not expect him to succeed are those largely championed by Democrats and liberals.

However, Gallup found one issue that Trump has focused on and that the public thinks he will lose: draining the swamp. The polling company said only 47% of respondents believe Trump will be able to make government work better.
