Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump nominated to be secretary of state and Health and Human Services secretary, respectively, received better approval ratings than former Rep.

The claims were largely driven by the overturning of <em>Roe v.

The poll reflected these views.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It found that 71% of Democrats felt Trump would threaten their &ldquo;rights and freedoms&rdquo; as president.
