  • A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 61 percent of U.S. adults support the president's plan to downsize the federal government.

The article from Newsweek discusses a recent poll conducted by Ipsos for Doge, which found that a significant majority of Americans, specifically 58 percent, believe that the government is doing too much and should be downsized. This sentiment spans across political affiliations, with 76 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of independents, and even 46 percent of Democrats agreeing with the need for a smaller government. The poll highlights a growing frustration with government overreach, with many feeling that the government interferes too much in daily life. This perspective is particularly strong among older Americans, with 65 percent of those over 55 supporting government downsizing. The article also notes that this view could influence the upcoming 2024 presidential election, as candidates might campaign on platforms promising to reduce government size and scope.
