Majority of likely US voters believe the Senate should confirm Kennedy for HHS: Poll

The majority of likely U.S. voters believe that the Senate should confirm the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary, according to a poll released Thursday.

Fifty-one percent of the likely U.S. voters polled by Rasmussen Reports said they believe Congress' upper chamber should confirm Kennedy, while 35% said they were opposed. Another 14% said they were not sure, according to the survey. 

President-elect Donald Trump last month nominated Kennedy, who if confirmed would likley play an instrumental role in their share vision to "make America healthy again." Kennedy is tasked with restoring the U.S. health system to the "gold standard" of scientific research, and helping end the "chronic disease epidemic."

The poll, which was conducted from December 17-19, had a plus/minus three percent margin of error.
