Most Democratic voters refuse to compromise with Trump, viewing opposition to the Republican policy agenda as a top priority.

According to a Politico report on November 4, two-thirds of Democratic voters believe the House of Representatives should obstruct President Trump’s policy agenda rather than seek compromise—a stance that remains equally pronounced among Democratic midterm voters: 65% of respondents say opposing Trump’s agenda should be the House’s top priority, even if it means stalling other legislative initiatives. Although Trump stated, following the Democrats’ major electoral victory, that he is willing to cooperate with Democrats in the next Congress, senior Democratic leaders have already sent a clear signal: they will not readily “move on” from the Trump administration’s actions over the past year. Starting in January, Democrats will face the dual challenge of delivering on policy commitments while balancing the urgent need to address the cost-of-living crisis and conduct rigorous oversight.
