13. A recent poll was very bad news for Musk.

Musk's favorability was just 36% while his unfavorability was 52%.

Only 29% approve of DOGE, while 39% disapprove.

60% believe that the president’s reliance on billionaires or family members for advice about government policy is a bad thing. Only 12% believe it's a good thing. (That is a huge deal and a big negative against how Trump has been operating so far).

And there is little support for several proposals to change government operations. Only about a quarter of the public support moving federal agencies out of D.C. (26%), eliminating federal jobs (29%), or eliminating entire federal agencies (23%). Even only 43% favor requiring Federal employees returning to the office 5 days a week.
