Many expressed concerns over cuts to essential and popular federal government services.\r\n\r\nOnly 27 percent would not support Musk\u2019s removal, and another 24 percent did not agree or disagree. Relatedly, a majority of those polled expressed concerns about Musk regarding the following actions:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A majority (64%) have at least some concerns that Elon Musk is cutting services to fund tax cuts for the wealthy (49% very concerned, 9% somewhat concerned, 6% a little concerned)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A majority (66%) are also concerned that Musk has access to personal data (48% very, 8% somewhat, 10% a little)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A majority (65%) are concerned that Musk\u2019s companies have received billions in federal government contracts (45% very, 10% somewhat, 10% a little).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u201cIt is clear, the voters are concerned about an unelected billionaire \u2014 Elon Musk\u00a0\u2014 playing shadow president,\u201d <strong>said Virginia Kase Solom\u00f3n, President and CEO of Common Cause<\/strong>. \u201cIn fact, a near majority are ready for Elon to be fired. It\u2019s time for the President and Congress to listen to the people, rein in DOGE, and fire Elon Musk.\u201d\r\n\r\nOther highlights from the poll:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Most voters want MORE people working in certain government agencies, not cuts, including 75% wanting the workforce to be \u201cincreased\u201d or \u201cstay the same\u201d at the Department of Veterans Affairs, 68% for the National Park Service and 66% for the Social Security Administration.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A majority of Democrats (75%) think their party is not doing enough in Congress to oppose Musk and DOGE.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>61 percent of voters support guardrails on government funding to ensure the Trump administration spends money already appropriated by Congress.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Voters are worried Musk\u2019s actions will do more harm than good \u2013 with a plurality (43%) thinking that Musk and DOGE will impact their life negatively, compared to only 37% who think there will be positive impacts.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nYou can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/de\/artikel-2\/neue-umfrage-fast-die-mehrheit-der-registrierten-wahler-will-elon-musk-entlassen\/\">view these poll numbers in graphic form here<\/a>.

More than 199,434\u00a0people nationally have signed onto Common Cause\u2019s\u00a0Fire Musk Petition,\u00a0and a coalition of 10 diverse advocacy groups\u00a0sent a letter\u00a0to the White House demanding Musk\u2019s removal.\r\n\r\nLast week, Common Cause unveiled a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CommonCause\/status\/1898031940336238654\">new billboard in New York City\u2019s Time Square<\/a> calling for Musk\u2019s removal.
