CNN Poll: Negative outlook dominates views of Congress, government

A month after a blue wave swept Democrats to control of the US House of Representatives, Americans are mostly pessimistic about the way the government will work over the next few years, and few see progress in the cards on a number of top issues, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
