Nutrition label

72% Informative

Just 33 percent of U.S. adults have a favorable view of Elon Musk , the public face of President Donald Trump ’s efforts to downsize and overhaul the federal government.

Musk is noticeably less popular than the overall effort to pare back the government workforce.

He is expected to start dedicating more time to Tesla , his electric automaker that has suffered plummeting revenue.

Just 11 percent said they are “extremely” or “very” concerned that they or someone they know will be affected.

About two-thirds of Democrats and 44 percent of independents have those fears.

The AP -NORC poll of 1,260 adults was conducted April 17-21 .
