A new poll found the public is sympathetic to the president-elect’s plans to deport migrants and reduce America’s presence overseas.
Many Americans who otherwise dislike President-elect Donald J. Trump share his bleak assessment of the country’s problems and support some of his most contentious prescriptions to fix them, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Ipsos.
A little more than half of the country expresses some desire to see Mr. Trump follow through with his harshest threat to deal with illegal immigration: deporting everyone living in the United States without authorization.
The poll, which surveyed 2,128 adults from Jan. 2 to 10, found that 55 percent of Americans either strongly or somewhat support such mass deportations.
Americans are more evenly split on whether Mr. Trump should implement tariffs on countries like China and Mexico, which he has vowed to do as a way to reduce reliance on foreign goods. Still, 46 percent say that trade with foreign nations should be subject to increased tariffs.
And a large majority is sympathetic to efforts to strictly limit how doctors can treat children struggling with their gender identity — an issue Mr. Trump and other Republicans made central to their campaigns for office. Seventy-one percent said that no one under 18 should be prescribed puberty-blocking drugs or hormones. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on the matter later this year.
The poll tells the story of a country turning inward, where people are more aligned with Mr. Trump’s “America First” agenda than they were during his first term in office.
For a political figure so divisive — Americans view him more negatively than any other president about to take office in the last 70 years — the level of support for his ideas is striking...

The New York Times: America’s rectal thermometer.
So... the exact opposite of the cult we are supposed to be?
Patton, Le May, Halsey and a whole lot of other American leaders we not likeable. US History is full of examples where the US People called on a SOB when they realized the crap had hit the fan and it was time to start getting serious
But the omegas at the NY Slimes are completely incapable of understand an Alpha male
I do not find it surprising that more people like Trump’s policies than even like Trump the person. His policies are common sense, America first, good for the middle class policies. Because of the bias against him by the Legacy media, people who consume only it know far more about his (IMHO) unnecessary insults and name-calling than they do about his kindness and compassion.
There are also many people who decided in 2015 or 16 that they hated Donald Trump, but now realize that their Democrat leaders have failed them while he will give them hope. They do not want to admit that a republican could possibly be good for the country.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Took two Slimes pixies to write this crap.
This is a well duh article. For example, even hillary or kamela as dislikeable as they are —might have got elected if they advocated popular policies.
Next NYT article to call “Trumpism” a personality cult in 3...2...
“Americans who otherwise dislike President-elect Donald J. Trump”
He is brash and outspoken but I prefer that to a smooth talking Democrat who lies every time they open their mouths.
PDJT is bombastic, prone to exaggeration,and often over the top, in his comments. His policies however, MAKE SENSE! Is it any wonder that people support his policies, especially after eight years of Oboogaloo and four years of Oboogaloo's pet, PedoJoe Biteme? Duh!
Good!
Once again, I am reminded of El Rush-Bo, and his comments/analysis of Hussein. When pollsters asked a question about Hussein’s policies, without mentioning the name of the politician (Hussein), a huuuuge majority of the respondents reject the left and their policies. If the pollsters uses Hussein’s name attached to the question about a certain policy, the respondents say they agree (probably to not be labeled as a racist).
PS - I just had a thought about what President Trump was saying to Hussein at the Carter ceremony. Perhaps President Trump was pointing out, reminding Hussein, that Hussein stated “Donald Trump will never be President” and now I have been elected three times. That is one more than you, Mr Sotero.
Wow, that's one hell of a poll. Was it conducted in a Walmart parking lot on a Wednesday?
This qualfies for journalism at the NYT?

The New York Times is so hateful toward Trump, working class and middle class Americans. But they do know how to write their hatred in such a way that it’s not too obvious.
I don’t think the NYT has any idea what real Americans think. They’re too tied in with the ivory tower elitists.
The NYT refuses to realize the obvious.
This is NOT about Trump.....this is about taking back the USA from the ruling class and MSM.
