Key Facts: A CBS/YouGov poll found 54% of Americans support Elon Musk and DOGE influencing government spending. 42% believe DOGE is cutting wasteful spending, compared to 36% who think necessary programs are being cut (Washington Post/IPSOS poll). CNN’s Harry Enten was visibly shocked by this poll result. President Trump supports DOGE and Musk’s aim to cut federal staff and spending.
