Analysis: What Americans think a GOP Congress would do depends on their party
For the most part, expectations about what Republicans would do align with what each party hopes or fears would happen. Democrats worry about a national abortion ban so are more likely to say that would follow Republican control. Republicans point to inflation as a central failing of Biden and Democrats, so they assume their party will fix it.that the GOP will control both chambers next year. Republicans are much more likely to think that will happen.
What’s interesting about this polling is that it is predictive, asking Americans to go on record about what they think will happen. Most people will be wrong, as is often the case. But if Republicans do retake both chambers, they can trumpet about having received a mandate for the central promise they made over the course of the election: not doing what Democrats want.
