For instance, yesterday's USA Today had this story with a different spin:
On the filibuster confrontation - defused by a compromise announced late Monday - those surveyed favored the Democrats by 48%-40%. But they saw merit in the arguments of each side. A 53% majority say the filibuster - the ability of at least 41 senators to continue debate and delay a vote - should be preserved. Still, 69% wanted the Senate to hold up-or-down votes on judicial nominees. [bold mine]
A substantial majority of Americans are paying little attention to the debate over the Senate's filibuster rule, according to the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey. After being informed about the issue, 48% of respondents say they favor the Democrats' side and 40% favor the Republicans' side. However, when the question is posed differently, 35% of respondents favor the position that Republicans are arguing for, while 19% favor the position that Democrats prefer.Clear majorities of respondents say the Republicans and, separately, the Democrats are acting like "spoiled children" rather than "responsible adults." However, a majority believes that at least one party is acting responsibly.
