Despite Trump’s legal challenges, the transition toward the Biden administration has been going well, with Biden releasing a number of planned key management recommendations over the past few weeks. In Wednesday’s vote, Democrats responded favorably to Biden’s choice. But most of the respondents – both Democrats and Republicans alike – could not identify potential candidates. For example, 50 percent of Democrats approved the election of Biden Foreign Secretary Anthony Blingen, compared to only 6 percent rejecting it. But 45 percent said they did not know or had no opinion. Twenty-three percent said they knew nothing about him. Overall, 61 percent of respondents said they had never heard of Blingen. Respondents gave similar responses to Janet Yellen, Fiden’s choice for treasury secretary who had a strong public presence as the first woman to head the Federal Reserve. Fifty-eight percent of Democrats said they had a positive opinion of Yellen, but 37 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of Republicans said they had no opinion or knew anything about Yellen. Of the 1,990 registered voters, the poll was conducted online from December 4-6. Margin plus or minus 2 percent points of error.
