Do Voters Want Bipartisanship... Or For Opponents To Agree With Them?

Do Voters Want Bipartisanship... Or For Opponents To Agree With Them?

A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll shows that most voters want to see bipartisan compromise in Congress, but the survey also shows that Americans are as entrenched as they have been for years.

This episode: political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, voting correspondent Miles Parks, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
