The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
A Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 73% of likely US voters say it’s likely the Senate will confirm all of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees. This includes 33% who say confirmation is “very likely,” while 18% think it’s unlikely all the nominees will be approved.
The survey shows that 78% of voters say they’ve been following news coverage of the Senate confirmation hearings, including 36% who say they’ve followed “very closely.” Among those most engaged, 85% say they think it’s likely all of Trump’s picks will be confirmed.
Opinions are divided on the fairness of the hearings for Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say they believe the nominees have been treated fairly, while 37% say they view the treatment as unfair. Another 25% say they are unsure. Nearly half of Democrats (48%) say they think the hearings have been fair, compared to 39% of independents and 34% of Republicans.
Majorities of voters across political affiliations believe it is at least somewhat likely that all the nominees will be confirmed. This includes 83% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats, and 67% of independents.
The survey of 1,220 likely US voters was conducted on January 16 and January 19-20, 2025, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
