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.
Single biggest determinant as to how people voted was education attainment.
GenZ and presumably Alpha are more education averse, too. I thought they’d better navigate disinformation online but alas…
The only clear conclusion is to dissolve the department of education
