The Republicans are headed into Washington on Tuesday with plans to shake things up after taking the Senate and expanding their lead in the House in the last election, but Americans feel that things won’t be much different, according to a new poll.

A CNN/ORC poll released today finds that about six out of 10 Americans believe Congress will not get much done compared to the previous Congress, and about half said Congress won’t be any more responsive, according to a CNN report.

That comes out to just 37 percent of Americans having faith in the new Congress the nation just elected, and 30 percent who think Congress will be more responsive.

Republicans won the midterm elections in November in a landslide, but the enthusiasm for their leadership isn’t showing the poll. Only 28 percent of Americans believe the Senate is better off with Republicans in control now, whereas 24 percent think Republicans will make things worse. That’s not surprising, as hyper-partisans are likely to either hail the new Congress or express disappointment at an election that didn’t go there way, but what it says is that nearly half of Americans — the remaining 48 percent — think things will just stay the same with Republicans in charge, suggesting a growing skepticism of politics by non-partisans, at least in this election cycle.

A poll published last month posted similar results, indicating that half of Americans predicted that Republican control of Congress would create more gridlock in Washington, and will overall be bad news for the country. For the most part, however, Americans simply appear apathetic to the dramatic power shift, and don’t seem to have faith in either party to accomplish anything of value.

Fortunately for Congress, they have nowhere to go but up when it comes to approval ratings. About 83 percent of Americans expressed disapproval of how Congress was doing its job in a September poll, which suggests why Americans made the change. Still, it appears voters aren’t exactly inspired by Republican leadership, and the change happened because it was better than nothing to them.
