April Capitol Pulse Results: Congress Supports MAHA, Favors Reducing Ties With Israel, and Questions Its Handling of Misconduct

Congress Supports the MAHA Movement

Congress shows majority support for the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Movement , with 66.38% expressing at least some level of support . That includes 23.28% who fully support the movement, 24.14% who mostly support it, and 18.97% who partially support it. 33.62% say they do not support MAHA at all.

The partisan divide is pronounced. Republicans show 94.83% expressing at least some support , including 36.21% who fully support MAHA and 48.28% who mostly support it. Among Democrats, 37.93% express at least some support , while 62.07% say they do not support the movement at all.

The result places MAHA among April’s clearest partisan divides, with Republicans substantially more supportive than Democrats.

Congress Favors Reducing U.S. Ties With Israel

When asked how the United States should approach its relationship with Israel, 42.15% of Congress favors reducing ties , the largest single response. Another 24.38% favor severing ties, while 20.69% would keep the relationship as is and 12.77% would strengthen ties.

Taken together, 66.54% favor either reducing or severing ties with Israel .

The parties differ more sharply on the extent of that change. 42.00% of Republicans favor reducing ties, and 18.00% favor severing them , while Democrats are more divided, with 42.31% favoring reduced ties and 30.77% favoring severing them . Republicans are also more likely to favor keeping ties as they are, at 26.00%, compared with 15.38% of Democrats.

The result puts reducing ties ahead of every other individual option, while the partisan difference is most visible over whether the relationship should be reduced or severed entirely.

Congress Narrowly Favors Counting Late-Arriving Mail Ballots

Congress is almost evenly divided over whether states should count late-arriving mail ballots. The overall result is 50.23% in favor and 49.77% opposed .

The partisan divide is much wider. 78.79% of Democrats support counting late-arriving ballots , compared with 21.67% of Republicans. Conversely, 78.33% of Republicans oppose counting them , compared with 21.21% of Democrats.

The near-even overall result therefore masks a substantial difference between the parties on how states should treat mail ballots that arrive after the standard deadline.

Congress Rejects Prediction-Market Participation for Staffers

58.91% of Congress opposes allowing congressional staffers to participate in prediction markets , while 30.32% support allowing participation and 10.76% are unsure.

The parties take different positions. 77.08% of Democrats oppose allowing staffers to participate , compared with 40.74% of Republicans. Republican support reaches 48.15% , compared with 12.50% among Democrats.

The result shows a majority against staff participation, while Republicans are considerably more divided on the question.

Congress Reports Seeing Inappropriate Workplace Behavior on Capitol Hill

The workplace results show that 69.00% of Congress reported observing workplace behavior that felt inappropriate or crossed a professional line at least occasionally . That includes 7.08% who report seeing it frequently, 28.30% who report seeing it occasionally, and 34.31% who report seeing it rarely. 30.32% report never observing such behavior.

The frequency differs between the parties. 65.45% of Republicans report observing inappropriate behavior at least occasionally , compared with 73.91% of Democrats . Democrats are also more likely to report seeing it frequently, at 8.70%, compared with 5.45% of Republicans.

The results show that reports of inappropriate workplace behavior extend across both parties, with a majority of each reporting that they have observed it at least occasionally.

Congress Lacks Confidence in Its Handling of Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Congress reports low confidence in its ability to handle sexual misconduct allegations appropriately. 79.26% are either not at all confident or not very confident , including 29.92% who are not at all confident and 49.72% who are not very confident.

Only 20.06% express at least some confidence , with 16.02% somewhat confident and 3.34% very confident.

The partisan difference is primarily in the degree of confidence. 90.32% of Democrats express little or no confidence , compared with 68.97% of Republicans . Republicans are more likely to say they are somewhat confident, at 27.59%, compared with 6.45% of Democrats. Very few in either party select “very confident.”

Together with the workplace-behavior results, the April data records both widespread reports of inappropriate behavior on Capitol Hill and limited confidence in Congress’s ability to handle sexual misconduct allegations appropriately.
