A new Rasmussen Reports poll reveals that a majority of Americans (75%) think President Trump is likely to accomplish at least some or most of his agenda that he proposed in his address to Congress last week – including creating more jobs, rebuilding U.S. infrastructure, and reducing illegal immigration.

Forty-three percent (43%) of likely U.S. voters say that Trump is likely to fulfill at least some of his promises to the American people and 32 percent expect him to achieve most of them.

Just 20 percent doubt Trump will be able to achieve any of his proposed plans.

Rasmussen’s survey also showed that Americans view Trump’s objective of creating jobs as the most important:

“Given six specific action items from the president’s speech, 26% of Likely U.S. Voters say creating more jobs is most important,” Rasmussen reports. “In second place is Trump’s proposed infrastructure plan to rebuild America’s roads, bridges and tunnels, rated most important by 19%.

“Fourteen percent (14%) think reducing illegal immigration should be the priority, followed by 11% each who rate cutting taxes and repealing and replacing Obamacare that way. For eight percent (8%), defeating radical Islamic terrorism is most important, while six percent (6%) opt for something else.”

Most poll respondents (53%) approve of the President’s tone and message during his first speech to a joint session of Congress last week.

Based on Monday's news coverage, Trump’s performance seems to have been overshadowed by his tweets over the weekend accusing the Obama administration of wiretapping his campaign headquarters

The President began the new week working to fulfill his promises to defeat radical Islamic terrorism and protect the homeland, having signed a new version of his executive order on immigration Monday morning.
