We can only hope so.

Via The Hill:

Most Americans are skeptical President Obama will be able to accomplish much of anything in his final years in office now that Republicans have seized control of both chambers of Congress.

Nearly six in 10 respondents in the Pew Research poll say the president will “accomplish not much or nothing of what he wants to get done.” By contrast, only a third say Obama will accomplish “some” of his remaining goals, while a mere 6 percent predict Obama will get a “great deal” of what he wants done.

Separately, a poll from Gallup finds that 53 percent want Republicans to have more influence than Obama. Thirty-six percent say they want the president to set the agenda.

In the Pew poll, 41 percent say they want congressional Republicans to take the lead in solving the nation’s problems. Forty percent say they wanted the president to do so.

By contrast, in 2010 — when Republicans retook control of the House — half of Americans said Obama should take the lead, whole just three in 10 said the GOP should.
