On what issues do Republicans and Democrats agree – and disagree – on areas of life satisfaction? A new poll helps answer the question, and shows us that there's more common ground that we might imagine.
There were some broad aspects that a slight majority of Democrats and Republicans were satisfied with, such as the overall quality of life and “the opportunity for a person in this nation to get ahead by working hard” .
While the above broad aspects achieved satisfaction levels by the majority of both major parties, there were also two issues where partisans largely aligned: on “quality medical care in the nation” , and on “the acceptance of gays and lesbians in the nation .
Members of both parties were also largely in agreement on dissatisfaction levels regarding “the size and influence of major corporations” and the “availability of affordable healthcare” . On a more negative note, it may be no surprise to some that some issues had a large partisan gap. The largest – with a staggering 44% gap – is satisfaction on “the nation’s laws or policies on guns.” While a majority of Republicans said they were satisfied, just 12% of Democrats said the same.
