Hagel as Defense Secretary

The good news for Chuck Hagel is that very few Americans know who he is. Hence, the fact that a Pew Research poll says his negative (28%) is higher than his positive (22%) is not a major problem.

Continuing to be nondescript and mostly out of the news is the key for confirmation.


Democrats are 30 points more positive than Republicans, but only 54 percent can rate him, and his edge among Democrats of positive-to-negative is only 9 points.
