For the Record: Most Americans unhappy with Trump transition

http://www.usatoday.com/story/nletter/fortherecord/2016/12/09/record-most-americans-unhappy-trump-transition/95182886/

USA Today

"SNIP...........

A Pew Research Center poll put out Thursday showed that just 40% approve of Trump’s cabinet choices and other appointments so far. That’s at least 18 points lower than previous four president-elects, including Barack Obama, who saw a 71% approval rating during his transition in December 2008.

Forty-one percent said they approved of the job Trump’s done in explaining his plans and policies. That approval rating is also lower than the past four incoming presidents: The next lowest, George W. Bush, saw a 50% approval rating amid his transition.

One bright spot for Trump: Thirty-five percent of Americans said he would be a good or great president, the poll of 1,502 adults found, up 10 points from October. (Thirty-eight percent said Trump would be a “poor or terrible” leader, however.)

Yet 100% of Americans can surely agree on this: Trump will be the greatest president to also concurrently serve as a producer on NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
