About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.
Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.
Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

OMG! You people are going to talk me into supporting Trump! Cutting 25% of the Federal government in one fell swoop?
I doubt we could do that well in any probable scenario.
Of course I don't believe them, but they had my heart beating fast for a moment. :)
Man! That sounds like a GREAT start to a huge problem being solved!
GO TRUMP!
This action alone would be worth the price of admission.
If that’s all The Donald accomplished as POTUS, I’d call that a straight up win. Hell, it’d put him in the running for best Pres ever.
Oh, HELL yeah! Works for me!!
No they wouldn’t
My BS meter is pegged!
I’m voting at least once upon hearing the good news.
Can I get a HALLELUJAH?
Why would they leave, it is a rare thing when government workers keep their word or act honorably.
688 employees were in the poll. But you have to read the numbers for the other candidates. When will pollsters admit that people lie their a***** off in these polls.
Remember, this is Politico....Truer words!
ELECT THE DONALD......
Cut government
Reduce Taxes
Well, maybe I might vote for Trump.
Seriously, they are all a bunch of liberal liars. They’re not getting off the government teat no matter who is President.
Any more than Whoopie Goldberg, Michael Moore and the rest of the oxygen wasters in Hollywood are leaving the US.
These people emit more methane than my butt. And I love kimchi.
RE: Poll: 25 percent of federal employees would quit under Trump presidency
If that is true, I’d vote for Trump ( even when he is not my choice today ). That alone would be worth it.
Good! It saves him the trouble of having to fire them.
A dream come true!
GOOD !!
It will take less time to root out the marxists if they quit voluntarily.
Notice they don’t say this about Cruz because, either
a) Cruz doesn’t threaten their jobs or
b) they don’t think Cruz COULD threaten their jobs.
