Strong public backing for the proposed Department of Government Efficiency

In a recent survey conducted by McLaughlin & Associates for Tea Party Patriots Action, strong support was demonstrated for the establishment of a Department of Government Efficiency in the United States. This initiative, which aims to audit government inefficiencies and advise Congress on reducing costs, received backing from 71 percent of respondents, with notable bipartisan support including 79 percent of Republicans, 64 percent of Democrats, and 68 percent of independents. The survey, indicating a growing sentiment for efficiency and accountability in federal operations, also garnered additional insight into proposals from leaders like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who advocate for ending remote work for federal employees. This move is perceived as a way to enhance employee accountability and foster efficiency within government agencies, resonating with 65 percent of respondents who agree with the proposition of firing federal employees who refuse to return to in-person work.
