Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Why it matters: Provisions raising congressional pay and allowing members of Congress to opt out of the Affordable Care Act have some lawmakers sweating the potential political fallout.
41% : They won a powerful ally in Musk, who has been charged with cutting government spending and who Johnson recently brought to Capitol Hill to rally Republicans.
22% : Even Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who has been on the bad side of conservatives since he sided with Democrats on gun control legislation, recognized that this latest House bill is a dumpster fire.
