Poll dates: Sept. 10-11, 2017, 1000 Likely Voters, 3% error margin
9/13/17, "Most Voters Welcome Trump’s Outreach to Congressional Democrats," Rasmussen Reports
"Despite their failure to advance President Trump’s agenda, congressional Republicans aren’t happy about his outreach to Democrats in the House and Senate, but most voters think it’s a great idea.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is good for the country if Trump works with congressional Democrats to advance his agenda. Just 13% think the bipartisan cooperation is bad for the country, while 21% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Only 19% believe the president should continue to rely on congressional Republicans to pass his agenda. That’s down from 29% in early April. Sixty-five percent (65%) now feel he should reach out more to Democrats in Congress for help versus 58% who felt that way five months ago. Sixteen percent (16%) are not sure.
Republicans (72%) are even more enthusiastic about the president working with congressional Democrats than Democrats (62%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (63%) are.
Trump surprised his fellow Republicans when he bypassed them last week to strike a deal with congressional Democrats to move quickly on aid for victims of Hurricane Harvey and to raise the ceiling on government money borrowing until mid-December.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on September 10-11, 2017 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Voters are more likely to believe Republicans in Congress are the bigger problem for Trump than Democrats are.
Only 35% of GOP voters believe the president should continue to rely on congressional Republicans to pass his agenda. Fifty-one percent (51%) say he should turn instead to Democrats in Congress, a view shared by 79% of Democrats and 64% of unaffiliated voters.
Men and those 40 and over believe more strongly than women and younger voters that it’s good for the country if the president works with congressional Democrats to advance his agenda.
Even among voters who believe Trump should continue to rely on Republicans in Congress, 55% say it’s better for the country if he works with Democrats.
Among voters who Strongly Approve of the job the president is doing, 71% say it’s better for the country if he works with congressional Democrats, and a plurality (49%) feels he should reach out more to Democrats. Those who Strongly Disapprove of Trump’s job performance strongly agree.
Trump has been critical of Republican congressional leaders for their failure to repeal Obamacare and to advance other items on his agenda. By a 50% to 32% margin, Republican voters think the president’s criticism of senators in his own party is good for the country.
Republican voters say they relate more to the president’s political views than those of their party's representatives in Congress.
Most Republicans also say the majority of GOP members of Congress have lost touch with the party's voters from throughout the nation.
Most Republican voters don't care much these days for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, making him now the most unpopular of the top congressional leaders.
Republicans are in charge of both houses of Congress, but only 14% of voters rate the way the House of Representatives is doing its job as good or excellent, while 11% say the same of the U.S. Senate.
Trump was at odds with the Republican establishment through much of last year’s presidential campaign, and just a month before the election, 51% of GOP voters believed that most Republican leaders did not want him to be elected president.

9/12/17, "Voters Don't Believe Immigration Reform Will Lead to Border Control," Rasmussen Reports
"President Trump has challenged Congress to come up with a long overdue comprehensive reform of the nation's immigration laws in the next six months, but voters remain skeptical that real border control is on the way.
Even if Congress passed a law to secure the border, prevent future illegal immigration and allow those who entered the country illegally to stay, just 41% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the federal government would actually secure the border. That includes only 15% who think real border control is Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 45% believe the government is unlikely to secure the border and prevent illegal immigration even if a comprehensive immigration reform package is passed, with 17% who say it's Not At All Likely.
Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Added: GOP had no problem "working with Democrats" in August 2017, voting nearly unanimously with them to remove Trump's ability to conduct foreign policy with Russia. Following excerpts from two articles, 8/6/17 and 8/26/17:
8/6/17, "Playing Politics with the World’s Future," Alastair Crooke, Consortium News
"Finally...the U.S. Congress has produced a piece of legislation. And it passed with quasi-unanimous, bi-partisan support. Only its substance is not so much a deep reflection on the foreign policy interests of America, but rather, the desire to hurt, and incapacitate the U.S. President in any future dealings with Russia. (And never mind the worrying impulse towards conflict with Russia this entails, or its collateral damage on others).
The aim has been to see President Trump hog-tied, and “tarred and feathered” for his “risky behavior” on Russia. This aim simply has overpowered any other considerations--such as likelihood that the outside world will conclude that America’s ability to pursue or even to have a foreign policy is non-existent in the face of its internal civil war. It is a key juncture. For an overwhelming majority of Democratic and Republican Senators and Congressmen, bringing down “The Donald” is all--and the devil take the consequences for America, in the world....
The point here is that the Republican [voter] support for Trump’s desire for détente with Russia has not eroded one jot, whereas the “concern” of the Independents and even among Democrats is eroding somewhat....America’s ability to pursue or even to have a foreign policy is non-existent in the face of its internal civil war."..."Executive powers have been transferred to Congress:"
.....................
8/26/17, "How the Deep State Ties Down Trump," Alastair Crooke, Consortium News
Trump "now has been rendered “helpless”: in respect to détente with Russia...spitefully, by his own party, working with the Democrats, to empty Trump's constitutional prerogatives in policy--and to seize them for Congress."...

"Donald Trump...won the GOP’s untapped residue of nationalist voters, in a system where the elites of both parties are, as if by rote, extreme globalists. He won the support of those who favored changing trade and immigration policies, which, it is increasingly obvious, do not favor the tangible interests of the average American. He won the backing of those alarmed by a new surge of political correctness, an informal national speech code that seeks to render many legitimate political opinions unsayable."...

8/23/17, "The Enemy Within," Peggy Ryan, Canada Free Press
"If this mutinous cabal succeeds in destroying democracy it won't be because of the Democrats, it won't even be the seditious media. No, it will be the left-wing activists in Republican guise, GOP turncoats who will gleefully drive the final nail....
Time after time these entrenched politicians use their power against the American people, not for us. Paul Ryan’s omnibus; the Iran deal; the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP); or the Paris Agreement on climate. Republicans repeatedly put every other country ahead of America, vote against the people’s interests.
But by far, the biggest danger from these Republican apostates is their subversion. They work with Democrats, media, and deep state to undo our election, to attack our President. They allow the illegal special counsel investigation and hold phony hearings on Russian collusion knowing there’s no crime. They jump to the nearest mic to condemn the President’s travel ban, to link the President to white supremacists, and to criticize every word out of the President’s mouth."...

Comment: Americans won "regime change" then learned US elections are meaningless. The losers refused to leave and effectively nullified the election by removing Trump's ability to conduct foreign policy with Russia. "Regime change" can only be achieved with millions of dollars of US taxpayer funded weapons and no-fly zones.
Even the NY Times Editorial Board was honest enough to admit that the 2016 Republican voters' message "is testimony to how thoroughly they reject the Republican politicians who betrayed them."...

May 3, 2016, By The NY Times Editorial Board:
"Republican leaders have for years failed to think about much of anything beyond winning the next election. Year after year, the party’s candidates promised help for middle-class people who lost their homes, jobs and savings to recession, who lost limbs and well-being to war, and then did next to nothing.
That Mr. Trump was able to enthrall voters by promising simply to “Make America Great Again” — but offering only xenophobic, isolationist or fantastical ideas — is testimony to how thoroughly they reject the politicians who betrayed them."...
