Even on issues that seem divisive, like abortion and birth control policy, Americans share bipartisan common ground. Across major issues, that agreement extends to 100+ specific issues. Will Congress listen to We the People and build on what we already agree on?

Most Americans, across party lines, believe a Congress more responsive to the people would find more common ground and better serve the common good. What would a Congress guided by We the People actually look like?

Addressing immigration may seem divisive, but Americans agree on more than you might think. And it doesn’t end there. Across 100+ proposals on major issues, PPC surveys show extensive bipartisan common ground among We the People. Is Congress listening to that common ground?

It’s not that Americans agree on everything. But energy and environmental policy is one example of broader bipartisan common ground that’s much stronger than you might expect. If Congress listened more closely to We the People, there might be more progress on major issues.

What if Congress listened more closely to the people it represents? There is more bipartisan common ground among the people than Congress reflects – and Americans believe that if Congress listened more to We the People, we would make more progress on national problems.

Americans – Democrats and Republicans – agree: Congress is not listening enough to the people. But if they did, they would find more common ground. Turns out We the People are less divided than Congress and agree on a lot! See the bipartisan common ground in PPC's survey findings.

Abortion is considered one of the biggest political dividers. Yet PPC surveys found majorities of Democrats and Republicans have surprising common ground on what the actual law should be. That’s part of a larger pattern of bipartisan agreement – nationally, and in the battlegrounds.

Are We the People really as divided as you think? On tackling healthcare affordability, public consultation data from across the country and in the battleground reveals a different story than the usual partisan divide. Read more in Steven Kull’s @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com op-ed below.

Disagreement over abortion’s morality doesn't necessarily mean disagreement over what the law should be. Turns out majorities of Americans in both parties agree on whether most abortions should be a crime and whether to increase access to birth control. See where, in PPC's video.

Congress doesn’t have to guess where Americans stand on immigration. Bipartisan agreement already exists on immigration and many other high-priority issues. It’s time for Washington to listen to the common ground of We the People.

Americans nationally and in the battlegrounds were asked how government should fix Social Security. Surprisingly, bipartisan majorities favored the same proposals. The people agree on a lot, and not just on retirement. It’s time for Congress to listen to We the People.

Americans across party lines are less divided than you may think. For example, when it comes to raising children, majorities of Democrats and Republicans agree that families need more government assistance. It's one of many issues where the people share bipartisan common ground.

The problem isn't that Americans can't agree. It's that Congress is not in step with the American people. PPC's survey of 3,700 Americans found that when it comes to actual policy specifics, there's a a lot of bipartisan agreement. Where we agree, at the link in comments
