In a sign Trump Derangement Syndrome is still raging in some quarters, results of a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey reveal that two-thirds of Democrat voters want their party to preemptively oppose “everything” President Donald Trump does – simply because he’s the one doing it.
In the “Trump Administration” section of the national poll of U.S. registered voters, conducted February 19-20, the survey asked the following question:
“Do you think Democrats should oppose everything that Trump is doing or should they take more of a wait and see attitude towards his actions?”
Strikingly, 64% of registered Democrats say their party should blindly “oppose everything” that Pres. Trump is doing.
However, 66% of all registered voters think Congressional Democrats should “take more of a wait and see attitude towards his actions,” including 89% of Republican voters – and 70% of Independent/Other voters.
The results suggest that support for Trump’s Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts to cut wasteful government spending could be even higher, except for many Democrat voters’ unreasoned, blanket rejection of everything Trump does, regardless of its benefits and effectiveness.
A 57% majority of Democrat voters say their party should accept “government waste” – not “join in the mission of cutting” it.
Conversely, two-thirds (66%) of all U.S. registered voters say Democrats in Congress should help cut government waste by reducing expenditures and 70% say government spending is “filled with waste, fraud and inefficiency.”
Fully 76% of all registered voters say they support Pres. Trump’s policy of “undertaking a full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government expenditures.”
