Poll: No Honeymoon for Musk, but Voters Support Creation of State-Level DOGE
Elon Musk’s leadership of the federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) receives a 55% disapproval rating from Michigan voters, with support split sharply along party lines—Republicans largely approve, while Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove. Personal opinions of Musk mirror those findings, with 55% holding a negative view of him overall. Despite this, a majority of voters (53%) support creating a Michigan-based DOGE to improve state government operations. Support is strongest among middle-aged voters, men, and residents of West Michigan and the Saginaw/Flint/Bay City region.
