Not terribly surprising, actually.

I know, Bill Clinton had 80% approval ratings during his transition period in January 1993 and even Bush the Joke had 70% approval ratings.

During your transition, the goal is to name people that the populace generally like to cabinet positions, stand there and look good, don't do anything stupid and generally stay out of the way.  Even an idiot can do it.
