Americans Aren’t Expecting Much Cooperation

November 26, 2018 · 9:43 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new Gallup poll finds Americans are largely pessimistic that President Trump and the Democrats in Congress will cooperate much over the next two years once Democrats assume control of the House of Representatives in January.

“Thirty-three percent believe Trump will cooperate a great deal or fair amount with the Democrats, while 28% think the Democrats will do the same with Trump. Both percentages are well below what Gallup measured in 2006, the last time Democrats took control of the House and prepared to govern with a Republican president, George W. Bush.”
