Elon Musk's DOGE is moving to aggressively cut what it deems are unnecessary government expenditures, and he's getting support from Americans, but there is also increasing opposition to DOGE staffers having access to taxpayers' sensitive data. (Credit: Latin Times)

KEY POINTS

• 83% of US voters are in favor of government spending cuts over tax hikes
• 70% of respondents believe government expenditures are filled with 'waste, fraud, and inefficiency'
• 60% of voters believe DOGE is helping make aggressive cuts to federal spending
• 58% of American voters believe DOGE staffers should be blocked from accessing sensitive data

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is on a high roll, and a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll showed that an overwhelming number of American voters are supportive of the Elon Musk-led department's efforts toward cutting down government spending.
