A recent NBC News poll shows that 46% of voters support the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), while 40% oppose it. However, overall views on DOGE are negative, with 41% expressing positive feelings and 47% negative. Elon Musk, who leads DOGE, is unpopular, with 51% of voters viewing him negatively.

About one-third support continuing DOGE's work, while another third think it should stop due to potential harm.
