Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : A narrower Senate GOP majority would have put a lot of power in the hands of Republican moderates who didn't support Trump, namely Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), but now with 52 to 54 seats under GOP control Trump will be able to largely bypass these centrists to get his agenda passed through Congress.
48% : They also want to rescind what's remaining of the $80 billion Congress provided to the Internal Revenue Service to beef up tax compliance among the nation's wealthiest individuals and families.
28% : Trump has already proposed raising $900 billion in revenue by repealing Biden-era clean energy tax breaks.
21% : Collins said she would write in former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for president, while Murkowski said last month she wouldn't vote for Trump or Harris.
15% : There are other Trump skeptics in the Senate GOP conference who could put the brakes on more controversial aspects of Trump's agenda, such as Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump of inciting insurrection in 2021, or Senator-elect John Curtis (R-Utah), who will fill retiring Sen. Mitt Romney's (R-Utah) seat.
12% : Beyond that, Republican lawmakers are pushing for hard-hitting legislation to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, something Trump made a top issue in the campaign, as well as proposals to "de-weaponize" the federal government and crack down on career federal employees whom Trump has labeled broadly as members of the "deep state.
