Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : With a potential default date just days away, lawmakers have managed to avert economic calamity by coming to a deal in principle to raise the debt ceiling and cap government spending for two years.
37% : In the end, President Joe Biden, though he long said he would not negotiate on government spending alongside the debt ceiling, wound up doing just that and, according to The New York Times, reportedly agreeing to both short-term discretionary spending caps and new limits and work requirements for social programs like food stamps and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs.
