Trump gets high marks for transition to White House — and public optimistic: new CBS poll

Most Americans approve of President-elect Donald Trump’s handling of his administration’s transition back into the White House — and are bullish about the next four years, a new poll shows.

A sizeable 59% of Americans support his moves so far, as he angles to stack up his next administration with “disrupters,” while 41% disapprove, according to the CBS News/YouGov survey.

Trump, 78, rounded out his cabinet selections last week, though he will still need to navigate the Senate confirmation process to officially get them on his team.

Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drew the most positive reactions from poll respondents, with 47% ranking him as a “good” pick compared to 34% saying he was “not good.”

Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio garnered 44% “good” to 25% “not good,” Director of National Intelligence-designate Tulsi Gabbard scored 36% to 27%, and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth notched 33% to 28%.
