Gallup: Trump’s return pushes economic optimism to seven-year high

President Trump’s return to the White House has pushed American optimism about the economy to a seven-year high in Gallup polling, released Monday.

The public opinion firm said 53% of adults responding to an early January poll expected the economy to grow over the next six months, the highest since it started asking the question annually in 2019. Another 61% of respondents anticipated stock market growth, with both numbers up from seven-year lows in last year’s poll.
