Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "Either Republicans finally decide to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits this year, or the American people will throw Republicans out of their jobs next year and end the speakership of Donald J. Trump once and for all.
49% : Democrats were largely united in opposition to the package, which did not address their primary demand during the government shutdown: passage of legislation to extend enhanced tax credits under the Affordable Care Act that are set to expire at the end of the year, driving up premiums for more than 20 million Americans.
49% : " While House members were not involved in the handshake agreements that were forged in the Senate to win Democratic votes, House appropriators were involved in negotiating the minibus. House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) on Tuesday night at the House Rules Committee meeting celebrated that House earmarks survived the bicameral conference for both the military construction and agriculture divisions, "reflecting Congress' clear control over the power of the purse" at a time when the Trump administration has repeatedly moved to make its own decisions about government spending.
