Poll Reveals Low Confidence in Trump's Cabinet Selections

A recent AP-NORC poll reveals that about half of U.S. adults lack confidence in President-elect Trump's ability to appoint qualified individuals to his Cabinet, challenging his claim of a voter mandate. While only 30% of Americans feel confident in his choices, confidence is notably low among Democrats and independents, with three-quarters expressing doubt. Conversely, around 60% of Republicans are confident in Trump's appointments and management abilities. The survey, conducted as Trump finalizes his Cabinet, highlights partisan divides in perceptions of his leadership capabilities.
