sure that the message we have is received effectively and results in winning elections. this is something i've been wrestling with throughout my presidency. when you look at the proposals i put forward, they garner majority support. the majority believes in raising the minimum wage. the majority believes in common sense gun safety rules. the majority believes in investing to rebuild our infrastructure and create jobs. the majority believes in making sure that people aren't going bankrupt when they get sick. the majority agrees with all the individual components of obama care. i think there was a gallup poll this week subsequent to the election that showed that the general public has a more favorable view of democrats than republicans.
