Exclusive poll: Young Americans down on DOGE

The big picture: 87% of 18- to 34-year-olds say they’ve heard a lot or a little about DOGE. And 71% say they strongly or somewhat disapprove of the agency’s work so far, according to a new Axios-Generation Lab youth poll.

• 69% strongly or somewhat disapprove of President Trump’s job performance.

Between the lines: The overall numbers show low approval for Trump and DOGE, but there’s a partisan split. There’s a great deal of support for both the president and the agency among young Republican respondents.

• 81% who say they’re Republican strongly or somewhat approve of Trump, compared with just 10% of Democrats and 29% of Independents.
• 68% of young Republicans approve of DOGE’s work, compared with 9% of Democrats and 29% of Independents.
