A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds just 13% of Americans are confident the leaders can work together, while 86% have no such faith. That’s far more than the 58% who felt that way just after the 2010 midterm elections in which the tea party movement rose to prominence.
“The doubts cross party lines: Fewer than 1 in 5 Democrats or independents have confidence the two sides can cooperate. Republicans are even more pessimistic, with just 1 in 10 confident Obama and Congress can work together.”
