A
Washington Post-Ipsos poll taken from Feb. 13 to 18 asked respondents whether they approve or disapprove of the job Elon Musk is doing within the federal government. It found 34% approval and 49% disapproval. The survey also found concern about DOGE’s access to sensitive information; 63% of respondents said they were concerned, with 45% saying they were "very concerned."
When a
Quinnipiac poll taken Feb. 13 to 17 asked whether respondents approve or disapprove of Elon Musk playing a prominent role in the Trump administration, it found 42% approval and 54% disapproval.
Quinnipiac also found 55% of respondents saying Musk has too much power, 36% saying his power is about right and 3% saying he had too little power.
An
Emerson College poll taken from Feb. 15 to 17
asked respondents whether they approved or disapproved of "the job Elon Musk is doing at the Department of Government Efficiency." It found that 45% disapproved and 41% approved.
Finally, a
Marist Poll for NPR and PBS taken from Feb. 24 to 26 asked respondents whether they had a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of DOGE. The results were 39% favorable and 44% unfavorable.
"I wonder out loud how much DOGE budget cutting will be in this speech, because actually it's polling very well," Fox News commentator Larry Kudlow said March 4. "It's very popular."
