Most Republicans say they want their party’s leaders to take a hard line in their dealings with President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
More than six-in-ten Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party, 64%, say that Republican congressional leaders should “stand up” to Biden on matters that are important to GOP voters, even if this makes it harder to address critical problems facing the country.
Democrats are more likely to say they would support efforts by their leaders to find common ground with the other party. A majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 58%, say that Biden should try as best he can to work with GOP leaders to accomplish things, even at the cost of disappointing some of Biden’s voters.
