Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : In December, when Congress ended up passing a budget without lifting the debt ceiling -- against the wishes of Messrs Trump and Musk -- the latter offered distinctly muted praise of Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives.
58% : Most agree that America needs fewer regulations, smaller government, lower taxes, less immigration and a tougher stance on foreign opponents.
55% : After leaving office, Mr Miller established the America First Legal Foundation to fight what many conservatives see as overreach of the administrative state.
53% : The most visible are Mr Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech billionaire and former Republican presidential candidate, who together will lead the Department of Government Efficiency.
49% : "Trump likes Lighthizer, and I'm sure at some point he will be back in," says Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to the president-elect.
47% : Yet she also previously served as general counsel at the Internet Association, an industry group, where she argued that government interference stifled innovation.
45% : Many also share a techno-libertarian belief in smaller government as a good thing in its own right, and see Mr Trump as likely to roll back Joe Biden's statist policies.
42% : Mr Trump has vowed not to lay a hand on Social Security.
34% : Deregulation is, generally speaking, good for their ventures -- directly so for those with large crypto holdings.
