Republicans Agree on Problems But Not Direction for Party

A new Pew Research poll finds 67% of Republican voters believe that their party must address major problems to be more competitive in the future. And 59% say improved messaging alone will not be enough – the GOP also needs to reconsider some of its positions.

Yet while Republicans may agree on the scope of the problem, there is little consensus over the party’s future course on either policy or strategy.

Key finding: 35% say the party has compromised too much with Democrats, 27% say not enough, while 32% say party leaders have handled this about right.
