A CNN poll analyst was blown away by a recent survey showing a majority of the American people support the cuts Elon Musk is making with the Department of Government Efficiency.
Discussing a recent CBS News/YouGov survey, pollster Harry Enten described how the results, showing measurable support for the Trump administration’s efforts to cut fraud, waste and abuse, shocked him.
“This, to me, was one of the more shocking figures that I saw. Made me go, ‘Wait a minute, hold on one second — whoa!'” Enten said to reporter Kate Bolduan, pointing to a poll reading: “Americans on Trump and DOGE efforts, ‘Musk and DOGE should influence government spending and operations.‘”
“Look at this — 54%, the majority say that he and they should,” Enten said.
Going on to another poll question, Enten said, “How about ‘Approve of Trump trying to cut staff at government agencies’? Again, you get a majority here — 51%.”
“So, yeah, Elon Musk might not be that popular, but these cuts and the idea of spending cuts, at least within the federal government and cutting at government agencies, that actually has majority support,” the poll guru said, admitting, “I was truly surprised by this, Kate. But the numbers are the numbers.”
Enten went on to say another survey result showed a plurality of American people believe Musk is cutting “wasteful spending,” instead of “necessary programs,” as the media has tried to claim.
“What do they think they’re actually cutting? Democrats want to argue that the type of spending that Musk is cutting is mainly ‘necessary programs,’ but that comes in at just 36%,” Enten said referring to the results of a Washington Post/Ipsos poll. “The ‘wasteful spending’ actually wins the plurality here at 42%…”‘ actually wins the plurality here at 42%…“
The analyst concluded the results suggest the American people want the government to be reined in and massive cuts to profligate spending.
“And I think that is the reason why you see that when it comes to…Musk and DOGE, you see, in fact, the majority believe he should have some influence, because they believe, the plurality believe that he is cutting wasteful spending, not necessarily programs that Democrats are arguing.”
One other takeaway is the corporate media’s attempts to gaslight America on DOGE have failed.
