CNN data shows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's approval rating at minus 29 points, the lowest among Trump officials

thedailybeast.com —

CNN data analyst Harry Enten reports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth holds a net approval rating of minus 29 points, the lowest among top Trump administration officials, signaling potential dismissal. Hegseth’s rating trails President Donald Trump at minus 24, former Attorney General Pam Bondi at minus 20, and ex-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at minus 16, with the latter two figures recorded before their firings. The analysis suggests Hegseth may be the next Cabinet secretary to leave, as his unpopularity exceeds that of predecessors who were already removed from their positions.
