A new CBS/YouGov survey has found that although President Donald Trump's early actions “have been met with robust support from nation's Republicans,” this “doesn't mean they wouldn't want to see some pushback from congressional Republicans when the delegation disagrees with him.”
- CBS: “…a sizable 4 in 10 rank-and-file Republicans would have their congressional delegation support whatever Mr. Trump wants — a view largely boosted by those Republicans who identify as part of the MAGA movement.”
- CBS notes separately that 65% of Democrat voters now believe that Congressional Democrats should oppose Trump as much as possible, up from 46% in January.
- The survey suggests that the Trump administration may face opposition to its agenda when it faces legislation in Congress, with a bipartisan majority of voters comfortable with their elected officials opposing Trump's agenda.
