Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "I think it would take major resuscitation from Trump or something to get him over the finish line.
47% : Johnson has stayed close with Trump throughout the campaign, speaking to him regularly and telling him on multiple occasions he could be the "most consequential president of the modern era."
32% : But if Trump throws a curve ball, saying he wants someone else as speaker, "that would create all sorts of problems," a GOP lawmaker said.
28% : If he weighs in on a contested race, Trump could be the difference maker.
20% : "It's going to be a free-for-all" if Republicans lose the House and Trump loses the White House, a third House GOP lawmaker added.
18% : Jordan was rejected twice, and Emmer was also denied the gavel, paving the way for Johnson -- then the little-known GOP Conference vice chair and No. 6 in leadership -- to rise to speaker.
16% : While both Scalise and Jordan are Trump allies, Jordan has been one of the former president's chief defenders on Capitol Hill for years, railing against the two Trump impeachments and leading a new special committee this Congress combating what Trump has called the "weaponization" of government against conservatives.
