Americans are increasingly critical of Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finding negative reactions to some cuts made by his U.S. DOGE Service and skeptical that the government is cutting waste and fraud.

The poll finds 35 percent of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57 percent disapprove. Negative ratings of Musk are up from 49 percent in February, while his approval has shifted little from 34 percent two months ago. He remains less popular than President Donald Trump, who has a 39 percent approval rating and a 55 percent disapproval rating.

Disapproval of Musk is up among almost all demographic groups in the poll, including by double digits among adults under 30 (from 51 percent to 62 percent), independents who do not lean toward either party (from 41 percent to 57 percent) and those without college degrees (from 44 percent to 54 percent).
