Regardless of the outcome in the coming election, a new AP-NORC poll shows voters from both major political parties want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and ending the war in Iran, while fewer are looking for an emphasis on Donald Trump — whether it’s investigating him or supporting his agenda.

The results suggest that voters are ready for Congress to tackle core issues, despite Trump’s centrality in the midterm campaign.

About 8 in 10 registered voters, including a large majority of Republicans and Democrats, say lowering the cost of living should be one of the highest priorities for the session coming up, the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds.

    So true. They did the same with W.

    I hate to imagine how bad the next will be that makes Trump looks good by comparison, but the Dems sure as shit will do what you said, just like they did last time.

      The template for this was probably Watergate (pardoning Nixon) and then, later, for the far worse crime of Iran/Contra, virtually all of it was swept under the rug.
