Summary
A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Americans favor many government programs over Elon Musk and his DOGE, which is working to slash federal spending.
The CFPB (50% approval), EPA (61%), and USAID (46%) were all viewed more positively than DOGE (42%).
Even the IRS’s free tax-filing program received strong support (63%). Musk himself had a 42% favorable and 52% unfavorable rating.
The findings show that government programs remain widely valued by the public.
There’s just no way we could have predicted they would do the things they said they were going to do

He tells it like it is except when he doesn’t or it isn’t, sometimes all at once. Depends on what I need to believe.
But Trump said he never even heard of Project 2025🙄
That’s why he had to seek out the authors and appoint them to key government positions… so he’d be properly informed!
