This is as good as he gets, going to drop once he's in.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
More Americans disapprove (51%) than approve (44%) of Trump's transition
His transition approval fell most among political independents
Majority consider Cabinet picks "average" or better, but 44% rate them as subpar
Trump's 48% transition approval rating in December was already the lowest for any presidential transition Gallup has measured, starting with Bill Clinton's in 1992-1993. Trump's current rating only further separates him from his predecessors -- particularly Barack Obama, who earned 83% approval for his handling of the transition process in January 2009, up from 75% in mid-December 2008.
Republicans' rating of Trump's transition has remained positive, with 87% approving in the Jan. 4-8 poll, similar to the 86% recorded last month. Very few Democrats approve, which has also been fairly steady, at 13% this month versus 17% in December. Meanwhile, his transition approval among independents has fallen from 46% to 33%.
