Ebenhack)WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans may have elected Donald Trump to a second term in November, but that doesn’t mean they have high confidence in his ability to choose well-qualified people for his Cabinet or effectively manage government spending, the military and the White House.
That’s according to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
About half of U.S. adults are “not at all confident” in Trump’s ability to appoint well-qualified people for high-level government positions.
Only about 3 in 10 are “extremely” or “very” confident that Trump will pick qualified people to serve in his administration.
