Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The move comes as part of the administration's efforts to align federal resources with the President's policy goals, which include bolstering American energy, promoting economic growth, and countering what Trump has characterized as "woke" and "radical" government programs.
50% : Federal agencies are also instructed to identify programs that may be implicated by executive orders issued by President Trump, such as those related to foreign aid, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, gender ideology, and the Green New Deal.
44% : The temporary pause does not impact mandatory programs such as Social Security or Medicare, nor does it affect legally mandated deadlines for certain assistance programs.
