Fascinating Gallup poll. And, ironically, it reflects how Democrats and Republicans act in Washington.
Americans think it is generally more important for political leaders to compromise to get things done (47%) rather than sticking to their beliefs (27%), but Republicans and Democrats hold differing views on the matter. Republicans tilt more toward saying leaders should stick to their beliefs (41% to 32%), while Democrats more widely endorse compromise (by 59% to 18%).As Peter Daou tweeted this morning, "is it really 'compromise' when only one side is doing it?"
