A national poll finds that Americans think President-elect Barack Obama's getting it right when it comes to his Cabinet picks, especially Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates. Seventy-five percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research survey approve of Obama's choices. That's 16 points higher than those in favor of President Bush's picks eight years ago.
As President-elect Obama plans for his administration, the economy tops his list of priorities. The Dow is plunging, unemployment rates are soaring, and companies announce more layoffs each week.
