Elon Musk’s public approval sank as he ramped up DOGE, poll reveals

Quick Summary:

About two-thirds of adults believe Musk has held too much influence over the federal government during the past few months.

In addition, while about 7 in 10 independents and about 9 in 10 Democrats believe Musk has too much influence, only about 4 in 10 Republicans feel that way.

Much of the downsizing has been done through so-called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which was Musk’s brainchild during last year’s campaign.
