41% : "In my most optimistic moments I think that perhaps Trump is providing red meat to his base with these nominees but that he will focus on delivering on the economic issues that mattered to the voters who decided the election," said Donald Nieman, a political analyst and professor at Binghamton University in New York state.
32% : He pointed to several mainstream candidates Trump had put forward -- including Senator Marco Rubio for secretary of state, finance professional Howard Lutnick at commerce and international businessman and former senator David Perdue as ambassador to China.
10% : Having given up on former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz for attorney general amid drug-taking and underage sex allegations, Trump appears dug in on Hegseth.
