A majority of Democratic voters want their congressmen to “stick to their principles” when dealing with President Donald Trump’s administration even if that means blocking all its nominations and legislation, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday.

56 percent of Democratic voters said that Congressional Democrats “should stick to their principles” when working with the White House “even if that means blocking all legislation or nominees for government posts.”

Just 34 percent said Democratic lawmakers should work with the White House to “get things done.”

The poll surveyed 2,070 registered voters online from Feb. 2–4 and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
