Nearly half of registered voters surveyed, 49 percent, say healing the country after the election is “very important” for Trump’s speech. Trump, having won only 46 percent of the popular vote in a historically contentious election, is significantly less popular than recent presidents-elect preparing for their inaugurations.
In terms of policy, the highest-scoring proposals are keeping manufacturing jobs in the country (48 percent “very important”) and bringing jobs back from other countries (47 percent). Trump has already garnered positive headlines for the decisions of some companies to cancel plans to move jobs overseas or expand their stateside workforces. Some of those decisions came after prodding from Trump, while other companies did not communicate with the president-elect.
