Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : In an unusually political scene at a major sporting event, Trump was heralded on the jumbotrons with a sleek video that began with Fox News calling the election for him and ended with the numbers 45 and 47 flashing red on a black screen.
60% : After the hectic final weeks of his campaign that amounted to his busiest stretch in years, Trump has largely stayed within the gates of Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida, since Election Day on Nov. 5.
58% : Joining Trump at the event were Elon Musk and podcaster Joe Rogan, as well as several of the president-elect's choices for high-ranking posts in his administration: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the would-be health secretary; Tulsi Gabbard, his pick for director of national intelligence; and Vivek Ramaswamy, who along with Musk has been tasked with leading the Department of Government Efficiency, intended to advise on cost-cutting.
56% : Joe Levore, 44, of Whippany, New Jersey, who supports Trump though he did not cast a vote, said he was more thrilled to see Jon Jones, the headline fighter of the night.
54% : Trump has also delivered speeches at galas in Florida hosted by right-wing political organizations that hope to help set his administration's agenda.
45% : Also in Trump's circle was Dana White, the UFC chief executive and a longtime friend, who has become close enough to the political operation that Trump invited him onstage in West Palm Beach, Florida, after his victory speech on election night.
44% : Trump was met with a chant of "USA! USA!"As the president-elect took his seat around 10 p.m. at the edge of the octagonal fighters' cage, the arena for a few minutes could have been mistaken for one of his rallies.
40% : The UFC audience Saturday, diverse in age and race, came from across the country, and not everyone seemed to hold strong feelings about Trump, even if some were excited to see him.
31% : After thanking Trump and announcing he would not retire, contrary to speculation in the lead-up to the fight, Jones led the crowd in another chant of "USA! USA!"
