The House is Democrats' best chance to check Trump's executive powers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : But keep in mind: the last time they had that opportunity, Trump oversaw a huge increase in spending that piled up more debt.
46% : Yes, the rabble-rousers in the Republican conference might have less of an incentive to act out with Trump in the White House and a Republican majority in the Senate, but the difference between a three-seat majority and a 10-seat majority could have big implications for even the most basic of legislative tasks, like choosing a speaker and passing a budget.
45% : And, indeed, control of Congress probably won't matter when it comes to much of the agenda that Trump has outlined for a second term.
43% : A Republican majority in both chambers of Congress means Trump will have a free hand to pursue an aggressive overhaul of the federal budget and tax code, just like he did early in his first term.
18% : If Trump follows through on his threats to go after unfriendly media outlets (perhaps by targeting their broadcast licenses), he'll be able to rely on appointees at the Federal Communications Commission to do the dirty work.
