Public Skepticism Grows Around Trump's Ability to Lower Everyday Costs as He Begins Second Term

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second term, a new AP-NORC poll shows low confidence among Americans regarding his ability to lower costs for groceries, housing, and healthcare. Although he won the election with promises of economic relief, only 21% are extremely or very confident in his ability to reduce food prices, while confidence in reducing housing and health care costs is even lower. Many voters are skeptical despite a significant portion of Republicans believing in his presidency. Trump's administration will face high expectations amid economic challenges.
