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.

Summary

An AP-NORC poll reveals low public confidence in President Trump’s ability to appoint qualified Cabinet members, manage spending, and oversee the military in his second term.

About 3 in 10 Americans express high confidence in these areas, while half are “not at all confident.”

Republicans show more confidence (6 in 10), but it’s less unanimous than Democrats’ skepticism (three-quarters express doubt).

Independents remain divided, with most expressing low or moderate confidence in Trump’s leadership abilities across key responsibilities.

          That would be even better. But if everyone actually voted, it would be enough to compensate for the BS Electoral College.
