A CBS News poll shared over the past 59 minutes via X reveals more Americans attribute the current economy to President Donald Trump's policies than to former President Joe Biden's, with relatively few describing basics like food and housing as easy to afford and many citing housing and health care as difficult, according to CBS News Poll posts from 2:46 PM to 3:46 PM UTC on December 21, 2025. The poll, detailed in a CBS News article linked in the X posts, indicates most Americans want Affordable Care Act tax credits extended, including more than four in 10 Republicans. On the deportation program, it divides the country, with a sizable percentage—especially those approving it—believing affected jobs will go to citizens or legal immigrants, while most disapprovers expect those jobs to go unfilled, CBS News Poll stated. Plenty of Americans, including a quarter of those currently disapproving, say their views of Trump's job performance could change in 2026, primarily through actions on the economy, the poll found. This echoes a CBS News national poll from December 17-19 referenced in prior reports, which showed Trump's approval at 41 percent. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated over the past hour via X that 2026 will feature "the biggest tax refund season of all time," with a major plan for homebuyers to be announced soon in the new year, according to RapidResponse47. Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham at his Jerusalem office today, welcoming him as "a great friend of Israel," per an Israeli Prime Minister Office X post.
