The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 55% of likely U.S. voters say they approve of Elon Musk leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including 38% who say they strongly approve. Meanwhile, 45% say they disapprove, including 37% who say they strongly disapprove.
Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, has a 52% favorability rating, with 43% saying they view him unfavorably. However, DOGE’s mission is even more popular than Musk himself—86% say they consider it important to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, including 66% who say it is very important. Only 11% say they disagree.
Among voters who say it is very important to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse, 65% say they have a favorable opinion of Musk. Even among those who say they have a very unfavorable opinion of Musk, 78% still say they consider the mission of DOGE to be at least somewhat important.
76% of Republicans say they view Musk favorably, but 67% of Democrats say they have an unfavorable opinion of him. Among unaffiliated voters, 53% say they view Musk favorably, while 43% say they view him unfavorably.
83% of Republicans, 28% of Democrats, and 55% of unaffiliated voters say they at least somewhat approve of Musk running DOGE. Majorities across all political categories—78% of Republicans, 56% of Democrats, and 66% of unaffiliated voters—say they consider it very important to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.
The survey of 1,196 likely US voters was conducted on February 6 and 9-10, 2025, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.
