Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Schumer defended the obstruction, insisting that Democrats would not allow military funding to move forward without concessions on social programs.
41% : "It's always been unacceptable to Democrats to do the defense bill without other bills that have so many things that are important to the American people in terms of healthcare, in terms of housing, in terms of safety," Schumer told reporters before the vote.
37% : Only three Democrats broke ranks to support the measure, while the rest followed Schumer's directive to oppose it unless additional funding for domestic programs -- such as healthcare and housing -- was included.
