When it comes to the environment and energy, are Americans miles apart? Turns out PPC survey results show we are not.
Congress may be divided. But among We the People, there’s extensive bipartisan common ground.

There is more bipartisan common ground among the people than Congress reflects – and Americans believe that if Congress listened more to We the People, we would make more progress on national problems.
Political debates can make Americans seem deeply divided.
But on issues like the cost of living, health care, housing, Social Security, and immigration, PPC’s surveys find more bipartisan common ground than the headlines suggest.
