Summary
A Quinnipiac University poll shows 60% of registered voters disapprove of Elon Musk’s DOGE amid mass federal job cuts.
Over half believe DOGE is harming the country, and only 36% support Musk’s aggressive downsizing. Trump’s approval also declined, with 53% disapproving of his presidency and 54% unhappy with his economic policies.
Legal challenges have forced rehiring of some workers, but DOGE layoffs could reach 300,000.
High-profile officials, including Marco Rubio, have criticized Musk’s approach, prompting presidential intervention.

The same third of the country consistently ruins it for the rest of us.

Tyranny of the minority

“Tyranny” over the people doing nothing but handwringing. The majority could at least try to make it harder for them?

But it's not a majority. A plurality are fighting it, but another segment is sitting back.

Just gotta weight these votes by how much crypto they're holding, so we know which ones have value

"Sure, we voted for him and this but we thought he would only screw over the blacks, hispanics and muslims... not me. "

I'm surprised the disapproval rating is not higher. Must be hard to give up the koolaid

“Registered” and “active” are two different things.
I’d also be interested to see approval rating amongst the people who actually voted for him (or claim to have).
