Poll respondenets believe Obama will be successful, that he should put Republicans in his cabinet . Republicans want more conservative leaders and Democrats want moderates, says the Pew Research Center. That means Palin as a conservative will be favored in 2012, and Obama's moderate choices for cabinet are right on target, says Transition Watch of the Pew organization. Pew Reports: See the data at: http://people-press.org/ As Barack Obama prepares to take office, two-thirds of voters think he will have a successful first term in office while just 22% say they think he will be unsuccessful in his first four years. At the same time, six-in-ten voters say the president-elect should appoint Republicans to serve in important positions in his administration, compared with 35% who say it doesn't matter. Meanwhile, Republican and Republican leaners say that GOP leaders in Washington should move the party in a more conservative direction. By contrast, 57% of Democrats and Democratic leaners think their party should move in a more moderate direction.
