Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : REUTERS - [...] Democrats currently hold a majority in the Senate, and Democratic President Joe Biden remains in power until Trump takes office on Jan. 20.
50% : President Trump is urging congress to pass only the portion of the bill that would tie up loose ends and keep government funded before he takes office next month.
47% : "Unless the Democrats terminate or substantially extend the Debt Ceiling now, I will fight 'till the end," Trump said on his Truth Social (read more)If the spending package is not complete the non-essential elements of the government will "shut down" a non-technical term that really means little in the grand scheme of things because congress has defined everything as 'essential.'The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025.
43% : His direction is to raise the government's borrowing authority -debt ceiling- and extending government funding.
41% : Trump said Congress should limit the bill to temporary spending and disaster relief and also raise the national debt ceiling now before it comes to a head next year.
36% : President Trump is well aware of the mechanics inside the Omnibus (CR) package and, together with Elon Musk, has announced his opposition to it.
30% : However, only approximately 10 pages (15 to 25) are the funding mechanism; the rest is a regulatory construct, an attempt to circumvent the Trump administration, and position the federal government to defend against structural changes President Trump is intending to initiate.
