Obama supported on guns, debt

Divided and dissatisfied with both sides, public is less aligned with Republicans

By Susan Page, @SusanPage, USA TODAY  

President Obama starts his second term with a clear upper hand over GOP leaders on issues from guns to immigration that are likely to dominate the year, a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center Poll finds. On the legislation rated most urgent — cutting the budget deficit — even a majority of Republican voters endorse Obama’s approach of seeking tax hikes as well as spending cuts.

The president invited local anchors from around the country to the Diplomatic Room in the White House.
