Fully 57% think the administration\u2019s workforce changes will have a negative impact, compared with only 32% who think the impact will be positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These new results come from a survey conducted by the Partnership in conjunction with <a href=\"https:\/\/amerispeak.norc.org\/us\/en\/amerispeak\/our-capabilities\/amerispeak-omnibus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AmeriSpeak Omnibus<\/a>. The survey of 1,200 U.S. adults was conducted April 18-20, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results are part of the Partnership\u2019s work on understanding <a>the <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/our-solutions\/rebuilding-trust-in-government\/dashboard-landing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crisis in public trust<\/a> facing the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust in the government has been low for many years. Yet, the dramatic and chaotic changes made during the first months of the Trump administration pose new obstacles to how effectively the government can function. Such changes risk the loss of experienced and knowledgeable federal employees who deliver essential public services. Our new survey results indicate the public is aware of\u2014and concerned about\u2014this risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"The federal government is operating (better\/worse) today than it was a year ago \" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-VET96\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/VET96\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"327\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}}))}();\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More than half the public\u201455%\u2014say the government is operating worse than it was a year ago, compared with only 26% who say the government is operating better. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/publications\/new-partnership-for-public-service-polling-shows-majority-of-the-american-public-concerned-about-cuts-to-the-federal-workforce-and-government-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Partnership research<\/a>&nbsp;found that some supporters of the Trump administration\u2019s downsizing efforts\u2014led by the Department of Government Efficiency\u2014believe there will be long-term benefits to the cuts, even if they cause short-term problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this most recent survey indicates a majority of the public does not hold this view. Fifty-eight percent of Americans say the government is headed in the wrong direction, while only 30% say the government is headed in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"The management of the federal government is headed in the (right\/wrong) direction \" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-WDOLG\" src=https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/WDOLG\/1\/ scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"327\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}}))}();\n\n<\/script><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <a>there i<\/a>s a large divide between how different parties view the current state of government.
