Vote Study Shows Obama Gets His Way in GOP-Controlled Senate
Sure, it’s early. But at this point, few expected Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (http://www.rollcall.com/members/202.html) of Kentucky to be as accommodating as he has been. CQ Vote Watch, a new tool that offers daily reports on voting patterns, shows that Obama’s victory percentage on Senate votes where he’s taken a position is at 82 percent. That's a bit lower than recent years but higher than his number in 2012, when Democrats ruled the chamber.
