The idea that the voters, through a resounding electoral victory, are sending a clear signal that they want the president to enact his policy preferences upon taking office.

Yes

Explanation:

The most common and best way for the citizens to be part of the governing process for now is to part in elections by voting for their preferred candidate. Before voting, the electorates are advised to choose a representative that is closest to their desires and aspirations.

An executive can only win the hearts of the electorates if he's able to convince them through his policy preferences that he has their interest at heart.

Therefore the policy preference of a politician goes a long way in determining his electoral victory and the consolidation of his stay in government.
