I thought this poll was interesting. Rasmussen asked voters which cabinet post was the most important. About 32% said the Secretary of State was most important. Secretary of Defense and Attorney General tied for second with 21% each.
I was a little surprised at how far down the list the Secretary of Treasury finished. Americans almost always vote for who they think will be better for the domestic economy -- and yet, the post with the biggest effect on the domestic economy (Secretary of Treasury) was chosen by only 6%.
The chart reflects the results of a recent Rasmussen Poll -- done on November 7th and 8th of a random national sample of 1,000 likely voters, with a 3 point margin of error.
