CNN stunned by 'shocking' poll numbers showing public support for DOGE spending cuts

After weeks of anti-DOGE protests and pushback from Democrats, the CNN data reporter was shocked to see that the majority of Americans support DOGE's efforts to cut government spending.

"This, to me, was one of the more shocking figures that I saw. It made me go, 'wait a minute, hold on one second! Whoa!'" Enten exclaimed.

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan followed up by asking Enten, "What do they [Americans] believe they're [DOGE] actually cutting?"

Enten pointed out that despite Democrats' efforts to portray DOGE as cutting necessary federal programs, the public is not buying it.

"Democrats want to argue that the type of spending that Musk is cutting is mainly necessary programs, but that comes in at just 36%. The wasteful spending actually wins the plurality here, at 42%," Enten said.

"I think that is the reason why you see that when it comes to Musk and DOGE, you see, in fact, the majority believe he should have some influence, because they believe, the plurality believe that he is cutting wasteful spending. Not necessary programs that Democrats are arguing," Enten claimed.

Musk told his fellow cabinet members and President Trump that he expects DOGE to reach its $1 trillion spending cut goal during a cabinet meeting last week.
