Federal workers think Trump won’t improve their agencies. Even his voters. Among federal workers registered to vote, 51 percent voted for Kamala Harris and 38 percent for Donald Trump, according to a Post-Ipsos poll.

Thrilled to share a rare nationwide poll of federal government workers conducted by The Washington Post and Ipsos. Lots of interesting findings in this story, with @emgusk.bsky.social & @oliviacgeorge.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

[On the last day of the month, I'm out of Wash Post gift links. Maybe someone can contribute one?]
