New CBS Survey Finds Negative View Of Congress
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- So who's getting in the way of progress on the most important issues in Washington? The results of a new CBS survey show that the political parties both have challenges with voters.
The blame game comes from supporters of both parties. First of all, 86% of all questioned think Congress has not done much of anything. There is no surprise there, but the party figures are fascinating. 56% of Republicans think their party is getting in the way of the President Trump's agenda. 47% of all respondents in the survey say Democrats are helping to block the president's agenda while not moving on their own ideas.
