Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The health of the economy, a Supreme Court decision on abortion and the war in Eastern Europe remain major variables.
45% : Scott, the leaders of the GOP's Senate midterm efforts, released an 11-point plan late last month that would impose a modest tax increase for many of the lowest paid Americans, while opening the door for cutting Social Security and Medicare.
43% : And without the majority, they lose any hope of enacting Biden's plans to bolster child care, education, family leave and environmental protection while protecting voting rights.
26% : And a recent plan that would raise taxes on low-income Americans and seniors, released by the Republican Senate midterm chief, Florida Sen. Rick Scott, is putting GOP candidates in a difficult position across states like Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida.
20% : "We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half of the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years."Scott refused to respond on Sunday when asked about McConnell's comments during an appearance on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," offering instead a defiant defense of his broader plan.
