Of course, for many conservatives hearing these survey results, their first response is likely along the lines of, “Good riddance. Can we start with the workers at the VA?” That’s not just anecdotal either. A different survey previously highlighted in the same outlet showed that a significant majority of Trump voters aren’t exactly wild about federal workers to begin with.
Donald Trump supporters do not like federal employees very much, though the feeling does not appear to be mutual.
Trump supporters are nearly united in their frustration with federal government policies, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, with 96 percent saying they are “angry” at them. Just 36 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters said the same.
About six in 10 backers of the Republican nominee say the federal government rarely or never does the right thing. Nine in 10 disagree that federal government is a “protector of individual liberty.”
So if anyone is looking to use this survey as a reason to scare Trump voters away from the polls it’s likely to backfire. Most of those federal workers aren’t going anywhere, and if they did there wouldn’t be too many tears shed over it in conservative circles.

good news.
This will allow Trump to “Drain The Swamp” .....
1. ahead of schedule &
2. under budget
Works for me! MAGA!
They won’t get the chance... YOU’RE FIRED!.........
Great. It’s a twofer. My promotion opportunities go up and the threat of a RIF goes down. Win-win.
Kind of like all those career FBI agents that were going to leave when Hillary wasn’t indicted. They still have bills to pay too.
What I would really like to see is years and years of downsizing take place in the government. Every government. Just like has happened for ages in the private sector. I’d love to see the tension in the government workforce and all the depression and misery it can cause.
Really, I would.
35% government workers leaving their jobs voluntarily would be an awesome start!!!
Lose-lose for the on line porn industry.
35% of Federal workers would consider leaving their jobs if Trump wins?
That’s what I call a good start...
Great. I have a nephew who isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but could use a cushy 9-5 job with the government.
A 35% loss of federal workers might have a 5% hit on throughput, eh?
35% government workers leaving their jobs voluntarily would be an awesome start!!!
Hopefully any money that they owe for back unpaid taxes will be deducted from their final paycheck and they will not be eligible for any unemployment.
Good riddance.
35% that know unequivocally that they are non productive leaches and useless. Another 40% know it, but won’t admit it. DRAIN THE SWAMP!
I’ve worked in government for a short time. There’s no way in hell these losers will leave their jobs. If they left they might have to work for a living.
It’s a start...
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Yeah, I bet that's true.
The best reason yet to vote for Trump!
Best election ever! Trump hasn’t even been elected yet and look at the corruption uncovered and now he’s going to reduce the federal payroll.
Reducing the federal workforce is an amazing trivial task.
All you have to do is _stop_hiring. Trump has said he plans to do that.
The reason—a large portion the workforce are baby boomers who will be retiring.
