A poll released on Monday showed that more Americans favour the loss of the Democratic Party's supermajority in the Senate.
The survey by CNN and Opinion Research found that seven in 10 Americans believe Democrats' loss of their 60 -seat super majority in the floor is a positive move for the country.
The administrative party was hit by a blow after Republican candidate Scott Brown won a seat in the Senate,which has been occupied by the late Senator Ted Kennedy for decades, in a special election last week and ended Democratic Party's days holding the filibuster-proof super majority.
The voting result left the Democratic Party a rougher year in 2010 as President Barack Obama and his party fellows in Congress are pushing forward with several key legislative measures, including the overhaul health care reform.
However, Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the House of Representatives by 256 to 178, which is viewed as a good thing by 45 percent of Americans, compared to 48 percent disagreeing, according to the poll.
It also showed that 46 percent of the public favors the Democratic Party, while 44 percent supports the Republican Party.
The survey signaled a tough challenge Democrats would face in the midterm elections this November, when all 435 seats in the House and 36 seats in the Senate are up for grabs.
