Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had become a centerpiece of Donald Trump's early second-term agenda, driving deep cuts across federal agencies.
53% : In Florida, where Republicans were expected to cruise to victory in two congressional districts that Trump carried by more than 30 points, Democrats didn't win -- but came closer than many expected.
47% : "It was the first opportunity for a referendum on Donald Trump, and it happened just under 90 days into his term.
46% : Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and podcaster whose group worked alongside Musk to boost the conservative-aligned Schimel in Wisconsin, argued Tuesday's Supreme Court loss underscored a fundamental challenge for Republicans, particularly in races in which Trump is not on the ballot -- which, putting aside the president's flirtations with an unconstitutional third term, translates to every race going forward.
46% : In a series of attack ads in Wisconsin, Musk was shown wielding a chainsaw, slashing funding for Medicare, cancer research and environmental protections.
33% : Fresh off a humbling defeat in November, Democrats knew targeting Trump wasn't their path to victory -- he had just flipped Wisconsin in the presidential election five months earlier.
30% : "Ultimately, this election was still about Trump, not Musk."
14% : "It was clear that his efforts to take a chainsaw to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are deeply unpopular with the majority of voters," Gordon said.
