Seventy percent of Americans said they want federal government officials to achieve compromise and find solutions. That includes majorities in both parties: 83 percent of Democrats, 54 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of independents.
Meanwhile, 28 percent of Americans said they want the nation’s lawmakers to stand on principle, even if it creates political gridlock. Republicans were more likely to agree with that idea at 44 percent, compared to 14 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independents.
