President Trump’s success at making good on hundreds of campaign promises is helping to drive voters to support his reelection, according to a new survey.
Key among his achievements applauded by voters has been his boost in black and Hispanic employment and making the United States an energy exporter.
In the latest Zogby Analytics poll shared with Secrets, several of the 319 achievements touted by the White House were tested, and in eight of 10, a plurality of voters said it would make their support “more likely.”
“When we presented respondents with a list of ‘accomplishments’ touted by the Trump administration, we asked respondents if each would make them ‘more or less likely’ to vote for President Trump in 2020. Eight out of the 10 accomplishments the Trump administration has touted as a result of their doing were cause for a plurality of respondents to say they were more likely to vote for Trump in 2020,” said the analysis from pollster Jonathan Zogby.
“The four most popular accomplishments were: African-American unemployment at the lowest rate in history (48% more likely, 27% less likely), the United States is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957 (48% more likely, 30% less likely) U.S. oil production recently reached an all-time high (46% more likely, 34% less likely), and President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (46% more likely, 35% less likely),” he added.
But dragging him down were the president’s actions on climate change, his withdrawal from the Paris climate accord, and his support of oil pipelines.
In his latest survey, Zogby included a large sample of blacks and Hispanics to gauge their views better and found that Trump is doing better among them than he did on Election Day 2016. Trump’s job approval among Hispanics is 47% and 26% with blacks.
