Politico Poll: Democratic Voters Show Little Interest in Compromise

on November 4, according to Politico, two-thirds of Democratic voters want the House to block U.S. President Trump's policy agenda rather than compromise with him. Following the Democrats' significant electoral victory, Trump indicated he was willing to cooperate with Democrats during the next congressional term. However, senior Democrats have signaled they will not easily look past the Trump administration's actions over the past year.

Politico polls indicate that Democratic midterm voters hold similar views: 65% believe the House should prioritize opposing Trump's policy agenda, even if it means sacrificing opportunities to advance legislation. Starting next January, Democrats will face pressure to push policies forward, but must balance addressing cost-of-living concerns with pursuing a rigorous oversight agenda. (Jin10)
