Opinion | The clock's already ticking on the Republican Congress

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Should the GOP under Trump succeed in slashing the social safety net and otherwise destabilizing the American economy, the landscape will likely look much rosier for the opposition party.
38% : I likewise understand the soul-searching that Democratic strategists and operatives are doing to determine how to win back voters who threw in for Trump.
37% : As NBC News reported last month, "the next battle for the House will be fought mostly in districts that Trump carried."
37% : Democrats won't get any credit for providing whatever small wins they might get from that level of engagement, not when it's Trump whose name remains atop the marquee.
24% : (Trump was already venting about Republicans' unwillingness to abandon the filibuster on his Truth Social account Monday.)
