Sixty-nine percent of Americans favor Barack Obama’s choice of Hillary  
Clinton for secretary of state and 80% approve of his decision to keep  
Robert Gates on as secretary of defense. More generally, 78% approve  
of the way Obama is handling his transition, a better rating than Bill  
Clinton or George W. Bush received.
