The people laid out the priorities they want the new Congress to have in 2023 and beyond as the Democrats' hold on the Senate got stronger and the House of Representatives flipped to a Republican majority.
Both Democrats and Republicans believe Congress needs to prioritize fixing inflation, reducing crime, and protecting Social Security and Medicare, according to a new CBS poll. However, they vary on how legislators on each side can get there.Almost half of Republicans polled want House Republicans to prioritize working with President Joe Biden and Democrats. However, that number sinks to 32% for"MAGA Reps.
The poll noted that just under half of Republicans label themselves as also part of the MAGA movement, which is consistent with surveys over the last year. On their list of priorities for Congress, people who voted Democratic in 2022 said they also want climate change to be addressed and abortion access to be protected. People who voted Republican in 2022, on the other hand, want Congress to prioritize securing the border and increasing U.S. energy production.When asked whether they believe U.S. democracy is threatened, 62% of people overall said"yes," down from 72% last October before the midterm elections.
The poll gauged a variety of other topics, including how Republicans handled choosing the speaker of the House, how much aid should be sent to Ukraine, and how important it is to be loyal to former President Donald Trump.
