Meanwhile, a whopping 65% of Americans feel that Republicans have failed at passing legislation, even when they held enough seats in Congress to do so.
Political fractures in the Republican Party and more
New data from Monmouth comes amid growing divisions within the GOP.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, for instance, has taken heat for declining to back a FISA amendment that would require the government to get a warrant before spying on American citizens. The backlash follows already-ongoing efforts from GOP lawmakers like Rep. Marjorie Greene to have the Republican speaker removed.
Many people have made the case that if right-wing lawmakers can’t unite amongst themselves, their chances of accomplishing anything in office are basically non-existent. Going into the 2024 general election, there’s no sign that GOP political fractures will heal anytime soon.
Democrats, meanwhile, are working to regain control of the House this November. The lower chamber’s Republican majority has been getting smaller over time, giving left-wing candidates some hope.
