(The Center Square) – Elon Musk is viewed unfavorably by 60% of U.S. adults while his work with the Department of Government Efficiency is disapproved by 58%, according to a new poll from Marquette Law School.
The poll comes as Musk-backed Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel lost to Susan Crawford on Tuesday night in an election that kept the state court with a liberal majority.
The poll showed President Donald Trump’s overall policies are more favorable than Musk with Trump’s job approval rate at 46% with 52% disapproving. Republicans support Trump’s policies with 87% support compared to 89% in January.
The survey asked questions to 1,021 adults nationwide between March 17-27.
The survey again showed that support for Trump’s tariffs were lower than overall support for his policies with 28% believing the tariffs will help the U.S. economy and 58% believing it will hurt the economy. Most adults, 58%, believe that Trump’s policies will increase inflation while 30% believe it will decrease inflation.
Sixty-five percent of adults believe the number of immigrants crossing the border has decreased since December and 68% of those polled favor deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally.
Adults were evenly split on whether they favor ending diversity, equity and inclusion policies while 73% agree with making English the official language of the U.S.
Making Canada the 51st U.S. state was opposed by 75% of those polled while 37% say the U.S. is giving too much support to Ukraine and 33% say the country is giving too little to Ukraine.
They must have polled protesters, because that poll has to be bs. Only a real idiot would be against finding and stopping fraud, waste and theft.
Did they poll only the excess baggage that lost their cushy do-nothing government jobs due to DOGE?
I am clearly not in that so called 60%! I think that Elon Musk is one of the greatest individuals to grace the United States with his presence and the amazing sense of adventure he exhibits with respect to his wide variety of interests and his business acumen. There has not been such an amazing intelligence as Elon since Leonardo Da Vinci, the original “renaissance man”, but Elon is clearly one of them! Is he always right? Of course not, but he has done some amazing things with his life, which is a lot more than I can say for that “60%” of whoever it is that disapproves of him, including me to be sure!!!
must have polled only democRATS…
