WASHINGTON — A new president, a new Congress, and the same partisan divide, right? Already the familiar laments about the red/blue split in Washington have started, and there are many signs those left/right differences are still alive and well. But as both parties deal with internal tensions, that simple binary color code might miss some important nuances in 2021’s politics.
About 17 percent of those surveyed say they are Republicans who consider themselves to be mostly supporters of former President Donald Trump. Another 17 percent would characterize themselves as Republicans who are more supporters of the Republican Party.About 17 percent of those surveyed say they are Democrats who were supporters of President Joe Biden in the primaries.
Among the party Republicans, the number is still high, but a bit lower and not so solid. The “positive feelings” number drops more than 20 points to 78 percent and only 44 percent of that group is “very positive” about Trump. There is considerable daylight between each of the Democratic and Republican groups. And those attitudes could shift over time as Trump’s post-presidency and Biden’s Democratic honeymoon periods wear off. Each party could find itself with some strong internal disagreements.With Joe Biden in White House now and Democrats in control of the House and Senate, the question is where each of these four groups stands on a Biden agenda. There are disagreements.
On the Democratic side there are also splits: 7 in 10 Biden Democrats want the congressional Democrats to work to pass the Biden agenda, while 20 percent of that group would rather “hold the line” for more progressive policies.
MeetThePress I'd wager three, because the centrist Dems and Republicans are the same party, they just don't realize it yet.
