"Very few Americans say in a new poll that it’s a good idea to scrap the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) entirely, a position President Trump has embraced in recent months.

In the latest Economist/YouGov survey, conducted over the weekend, just 9 percent of respondents say FEMA should be eliminated. Another 10 percent say they think the agency should be reduced.

But two-thirds of Americans support the agency, with 30 percent saying it should remain the same size and 36 percent saying it should expand."
