The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
January 14, 2021: Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters want President-elect Biden to build a larger governing majority with policies that can win over some Republicans and other Trump supporters. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that just 17% want him to ignore the concerns of his political opponents and try to implement as many Democratic policies as possible.[1]
Other than very liberal voters, a majority of every measured demographic group wants the incoming president to build a larger governing majority by finding some common ground. Very liberal voters are evenly divided—47% prefer the consensus-building approach, while 45% want him to ignore the concerns of others and implement Democratic policies.[1]
Among those who say faith or religion is a very important part of their life, 68% favor the consensus-building approach. Just 14% take the opposite view. As for those who say faith or religion is not at all important, 52% want Biden to build a larger governing majority. Thirty percent (30%) want him to focus on Democratic policies.[1]
