In a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cited data from a HarrisX poll showing overwhelming public support for the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a proposed agency focused on eliminating government waste, fraud, and abuse.

The HarrisX survey found that 76% of Americans favor the idea, with just 12% opposed and 12% unsure. The proposal, which has sparked national conversation and caught the attention of lawmakers and political commentators, now has a clear mandate from the public, according to the data.

Leavitt pointed to the poll as part of the administration’s ongoing commitment to exploring innovative solutions to improve government accountability and reduce unnecessary spending. “The American people clearly want a government that works more efficiently and spends their money wisely,” she said, referencing the HarrisX results.

At HarrisX, we remain committed to providing timely, actionable public opinion research that helps decision-makers stay connected to the values and priorities of the American people.
