I assume nothing. Look at congresses approval rating.
On both sides, people and issues are exploited to score political points. This is not about an ideology. It's about returning power to the people. As you move further away from the local circle, the individual's power is diminished.
At the federal level, the individual has very little power. Which is why the framers of the Constitution kept the Federal gov't limited in it scope of authority.
If you don't like a law like Obamacare, you cannot flee to another state. If you don't like the state income tax of a state like New York, you can migrate to Texas, example. If the Federal gov't decided the state income tax nationwide, which they'd love to do, there would be no escape. Now everybody has Obamacare (passed in the cover of darkness under a briefly controlled democrat House and Senate) dropped on them like a hammer with nowhere to run. The young and healthy like myself will pay through the nose.
