Biden transition approval above 65 percent ahead of inauguration: polls
BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 01/19/21 07:50 AM EST
A majority of Americans approves of how President-elect Joe Biden has handled the transition process since winning the November election, according to a pair of new polls released just before his inauguration.
Approximately 68 percent of Americans surveyed in a Gallup poll published early Tuesday said they approve of Biden's handling of his presidential transition, while nearly four in 10 said his decisions on key Cabinet appointments have been "outstanding" or "above average."
A CNN poll, meanwhile, found that 66 percent of respondents indicated that they approve of Biden's handling of the transition process.
Gallup noted that the rating of Biden's transition process is higher than the marks President Trump received in 2016 and those of former President Barack Obama's in 2008.
