The AP needs a headline editor.

"though many do not know enough to have an opinion"

Why do orgs poll these questions when this is an absolutely foreseeable result?

The median respondent probably can't name more than 3 cabinet level offices, nor does their "confidence" have any predictive value anyway

lexou.bsky.social•72 days ago

most people have an opinion even when they know nothing. They'll just form an opinion on the spot. If that was your sole criteria, you'd never be able to poll anybody ever on anything.

mavill.bsky.social•72 days ago

You could absolutely poll people on things in their domain of knowledge.

I've run a bunch of surveys all and we don't ask questions about things people know nothing about because we can't use the data

katgirlblue.bsky.social•72 days ago

Let’s reword that to 70% of Americans are F*CKED!

bigbrain1234.bsky.social•72 days ago

He’s looks old and lost in that photo.

mpfirish.bsky.social•72 days ago

3 out of 10 Americans are idiots.

studuncan.bsky.social•72 days ago

Seems high.

activecultures.bsky.social•72 days ago

“about half of U.S. adults are “not at all confident” in Trump’s ability to appoint well-qualified people for his Cabinet and other high-level government positions.”

About half voted against him for that reason, too.

Not such a surprising poll result.

goodyse.bsky.social•72 days ago

The blaring attention paid to 30% of our dumbest neighbors is nauseating

juiicylambo.bsky.social•72 days ago

Still not convinced he won. Especially all swing states and popular votes. Ballot boxes were found dumped, the purging of voter rolls months, weeks, days before the election, tossing of ballots and bomb threats all contributed to his win.

juliettewade.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes, this.

juiicylambo.bsky.social•72 days ago

And the sad part is no one talks about it. They called him the winner shortly in the morning but many people days after the election said their ballots were never received or never counted. It's crazy.

juliettewade.bsky.social•72 days ago

It is!

happyexmo.bsky.social•72 days ago

Same group of 30% of the lowest IQ people in the country.

bethannewills.bsky.social•72 days ago

The headline on the poll article is much better.

iammarklush.bsky.social•72 days ago

Thank you! The way the OP has this is stupid and confusing.

jimmytwiz.bsky.social•72 days ago

So his core MAGA supporters. SHOCKING. 😑

almanyc.bsky.social•72 days ago

7 Americans didn’t bother to vote

forrestnews.bsky.social•72 days ago

“And, those same 30 percent licked their phones to provide their responses…”

magpie4life1892.bsky.social•72 days ago

Isn’t 30% a failing grade?

hdhackman.bsky.social•72 days ago

Highly confident or just high?

daven50.bsky.social•72 days ago

And the other 70%? Are they highly disturbed about Trump's cabinet choices?

bigbrain1234.bsky.social•72 days ago

That part doesn’t seem to matter to most in the media. A lot of publications fell right in line with Trumps lies that it was some landslide that grants him a mandate to do anything he wants.

dodgeintercept1.bsky.social•72 days ago

3 in 10 Americans are confident they can scratch their butt with their elbow

gsdmama.bsky.social•72 days ago

"About 1 in 3 Americans is an idiot."

Fixed it.

cedar-sherlock32.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yeah, we've known for years now that a full 1/3 of this country wants to burn it all down and go full fascist. No surprise there.

hildp.bsky.social•72 days ago

70% are paying attention.

meekman.bsky.social•72 days ago

But they told us he has a mandate that lets him rule us like a king.

murphykbrown.bsky.social•72 days ago

Wow 30% confidence 😟

smb6789.bsky.social•72 days ago

Gee great

triplenichol.bsky.social•72 days ago

Roughly 6 out of 10 voted for Trump. To 3 voters of the 7 "not confident"...wtf were you thinking in November?

davidlehnherr.bsky.social•72 days ago

trump didn’t even get 50% of the vote. And slightly less than 60% of eligible voters bothered to vote. Looks like some buyer’s remorse is setting in.

bizbodeity.bsky.social•72 days ago

It's frightening to see such a high percentage of delusional individuals.

merrydythe.bsky.social•72 days ago

Should be 0 in 10. Or, allowing for kooks, 1 in 10,000.

katieandemma.bsky.social•72 days ago

Why not say 7 in 10 Americans are NOT confident in Trump? 😣

danielfee.bsky.social•72 days ago

It's the same 30% who buy all the crap he sells; hats, shoes, watches, tokens, cologne and let's not forget the Trump Bible. Suckers .

digitaltraveler.bsky.social•72 days ago

What is up with his eyes? He always looks like he is about to fall asleep!

flythe.bsky.social•72 days ago

His cabinet is specifically designed for one purpose; to facilitate business arrangements the aim of which is to enrich himself personally, because that's his life's work, all he knows.

rossqsmith.bsky.social•72 days ago

These are the same 3 in 10 #AmeriKKKans who permanently reside to the left of the mean in George Carlin's observation about "average intelligence". These "fine people" represent the brain trust that has charted the next phase of the American Experiment.

dfortkiewicz.bsky.social•72 days ago

Give those 3 people an IQ test 🤡

melastorm.bsky.social•72 days ago

Surprised it's that high, tbh.

1dae.bsky.social•72 days ago

3 in 10? They got their guy and this is how they feel about him?

roddusi.bsky.social•72 days ago

He won with only that percentage of the vote among eligible voters, counting the 90 million who did not vote.

the2ndsazerac.bsky.social•72 days ago

They didn’t vote for him based on cabinet, spending, or military oversight. He just hates the same people they do.

coffeefuelednp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Spin…..7 in 10 Americans are walking around slack-jawed screaming “Are you kidding me? We’re all screwed”

furore.bsky.social•72 days ago

Looks like this should have been the title, in fact

here4dapics.bsky.social•72 days ago

An alternative, better title: 70% of Americans extremely concerned about Trump Cabinet picks, the other 30% are in cult.

stacnelson84.bsky.social•72 days ago

Or better….”7 in 10 Americans are expecting a sh** show for the years to come”

owlcatjewelry.bsky.social•71 days ago

So, even the people who voted for him know he is incompetent.

riversoflight.bsky.social•72 days ago

The same 3/10 that were dumb enough to vote for him.

lamberic.bsky.social•72 days ago

Same 30% that voted for him.

johnnymoe.bsky.social•72 days ago

His appeal will wither away month by month. Stay tuned

mfdoodles.bsky.social•72 days ago

I wonder if they'll ever admit their mistake in their confidence...🤷‍♀️

mstoney.bsky.social•72 days ago

What predictably awful framing here

baksteen.bsky.social•72 days ago

70% percent don't trust Trump and his cabinet nor their spending and the handling of the military.
There i fixed your headline.

rulesfortitans.bsky.social•72 days ago

The 3 that ain't paying attention.

poderdeladuda7.bsky.social•72 days ago

About 3 in 10 people have no clue what common sense is, let alone how to use it…the salesmanship and energy of the future administration knows it, exploits it and will always try and use it to their advantage: on as many levels of our current american culture. It’s tediously frustrating.

jbatnc.bsky.social•72 days ago

7 on 10 are NOT confident....
THAT should be the lede.

teamcoachella.bsky.social•72 days ago

Me to the voters

jb3po.bsky.social•72 days ago

I'm guessing people don't realize probabilities add up fast when estimating "a, b, OR c." Specifically, p(a b or c) = p(a) + p(b) + p(c) - p(a & b) - p(a & c) - p(b & c) + p(a & b & c).

In other words, only 3/10 Americans believing AT LEAST 1 of the 3 things means that each one is very unpopular.

laplkp.bsky.social•72 days ago

Which means 70% are not confident.

sunnydaysarecoming.bsky.social•72 days ago

That’s consistently the 32%MAGA cult

mack70d.bsky.social•72 days ago

Jim Cramer is one of the three.
