  • About half of U.S. adults are "not at all confident" in President-elect Trump's ability to appoint qualified people to his administration, per an AP-NORC poll released on Friday. Why it matters: The lack of confidence from respondents undercuts Trump's claim to have won a mandate from voters as he finalizes Cabinet picks and fine tunes policy proposals.

According to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, half of Americans express a lack of confidence in former President Donald Trump's potential cabinet picks should he win the 2024 election. The survey highlights a significant partisan divide, with only 20% of Democrats having any confidence in Trump's selections, compared to 60% of Republicans who view his choices favorably. This skepticism largely stems from Trump's previous term, where his cabinet was marked by high turnover and numerous controversies. The poll also reflects broader concerns about Trump's leadership style and the implications of his potential return to office, with many Americans worried about the stability and effectiveness of his administration.
