Majority approve of Trump picks

 The Federalist Wire:

...

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll reveals that most Americans approve of how President-elect Donald Trump is managing his transition to the presidency.

Conducted between November 19 and 22, the survey included responses from 2,232 American adults, with 59 percent approving of Trump’s approach to the transition and 41 percent expressing disapproval.
...

The poll also explored public opinion on several of Trump’s high-profile cabinet picks, yielding a variety of responses.

Forty-four percent of respondents believed Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) as Secretary of State was a “good choice,” with a significant 75 percent of Trump voters agreeing.

Meanwhile, 25 percent of respondents viewed it as “not” a good choice, including 5 percent of Trump voters. An additional 31 percent said they had not heard enough about the decision, a sentiment shared by 19 percent of Trump voters.

Forty-seven percent of respondents supported the pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services (HHS) as a “good choice,” including a strong 80 percent of Trump voters.

However, 34 percent labeled it as “not” a good choice, and 19 percent said they lacked sufficient information. Among Trump voters, only 8 percent opposed the choice, and 12 percent said they had not heard enough.

In regards to Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, Public opinion was more divided, with 33 percent of respondents calling Hegseth a “good choice” and 28 percent deeming it a poor selection.
...

With a GOP majority in the Senate, getting them approved should be no problem.  Rubio is clearly articulate and shows an ability to work with others. Kennedy and Hegseth are interesting choices.  Hegseth's military background should be a plus.  Questions have been raised about his nominations, but I think he should be given a chance.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
