Most Blame Republicans for Gridlock

A new Quinnipiac poll finds 51% of Americans say Republicans are responsible for gridlock in Washington, D.C while 35% percent say President Obama “lacks the skills to convince leaders of Congress to work together.”

Asked another way, 53% say Obama is doing “too little” to compromise with congressional Republicans, but 68% of voters say congressional Republicans are doing “too little.”

Said pollster Peter Brown: “Voters think the Democrats and Obama aren’t playing nice, but they think the Republicans are worse.”
