Many Americans doubt Trump will be able to lower prices in his first year, an AP-NORC poll shows

Many U.S. adults are skeptical about President-elect Donald Trump's ability to bring down costs. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows only about 2 in 10 Americans are “extremely” or “very” confident the Republican will be able to make progress on lowering the cost of groceries, housing or health care this year. The poll shows about 2 in 10 Americans are “moderately” confident. Faith in Trump's ability to create jobs is a little higher: About 3 in 10 Americans are “extremely” or “very” confident he’ll make progress on this in 2025.
