It’s no secret that the mainstream media and liberal pundits are waging a war against President Donald Trump and his initiatives, but the latest numbers reveal that the American people are tuning out the noise. The Department of Government Efficiency, affectionately known as DOGE under the charismatic leadership of Elon Musk, has been painted as a villain in leftist narratives, yet a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll flips that script dramatically. Apparently, Americans are not as easily swayed by hyperbole as some media outlets might hope.
The truth is, most taxpayers are sick and tired of their hard-earned dollars being squandered by bureaucratic inefficiencies. Trump’s focus on streamlining government operations has struck a chord with the electorate. The polling data shows that Trump’s approval rating stands at 50%, pinging him effectively on the positive side of the scale, while disapproval languishes at 43%. This pattern isn’t just a fluke; it’s consistent with RealClearPolitics, where Trump’s figures hover at 49.3% approval to 47.5% disapproval. Clearly, when it comes to the Trump presidency, Americans are seeing past the media’s antics and recognizing what he’s accomplishing.
This new poll is absolutely devastating to the Democrats. DOGE is EXTREMELY popular by huge margins.

The sheer audacity of the left to paint Trump as some sort of “unfit lunatic” flies in the face of the widespread approval he continues to receive. While they may share frantic interpretations of current events on their news networks, the average American sees Trump as a president actively pursuing peace globally, protecting borders, negotiating fairer trade deals, and being wise with taxpayer resources. Those are priorities that resonate with folks beyond the echo chambers of liberal media.
As if the approval metrics weren’t impressive enough, the support for DOGE is undeniably robust. An overwhelming 83% of voters favor slashing government spending over hiking taxes, and an impressive 77% back comprehensive reviews of how taxpayer dollars are allocated. It’s clear that citizens are crying out for fiscal responsibility, and Trump, with Musk at his side, is stepping up to the plate. It’s no wonder that 60% of voters believe DOGE is successfully implementing significant budget cuts.
Americans aren’t fooled by lazy bureaucrats who do little more than collect paychecks while the government balloons out of control. Recent administrations have seen federal spending balloon, and constituents are fed up with the wastefulness. A staggering 70% of voters believe government spending is chock-full of waste and fraud, reinforcing the needed role of DOGE in restoring fiscal sanity. Not to mention, 69% of the populace wish to see the government reign in its spending by at least $1 trillion. The message is clear: Americans want the government to shape up or ship out.
