With just nine days prior to the November 4 midterm elections, GOP candidates continue to solidify votes and rankings among American voters. But political analysts say a Republican-led Senate does not necessarily spell progress for the United States.

New York University professor Paul Light said even if GOP wins majority of the seats in Senate, it would take an insurmountable effort to overcome the president's veto.

Should a bill shall be passed against the favor of the Democratic Party, the GOP has to cast 67 votes from the Senate and 290 from the House of Representatives.

On a positive note, a Republican-led Congress has the ability to block potential presidential midnight appointments on Supreme Court positions and advocate foreign trade policies and financial regulations.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said there really is nothing big to expect from a divided government but added that the public could see some relevant changes at a slow pace.

Republicans are also expected to attack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The GOP is Senate might repeal only the 2.3 percent tax on medical devices, which could also be supported by a few Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

This year also presents greater opportunity for a two-side comprehensive budget hearing in case the Republicans manage to get majority of the votes. It would be an interesting sight if Obama need not sign budget proposals since the Republicans will most likely run the Appropriations Committee.

In terms of foreign trade deals, Republicans might push for the so-called fast-track regulation. It is a far-fetched dream to overcome 60 votes, Zandi added, with legislators like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) against it.

According to a recent survey by NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg, 52 percent of the registered voters said they want the GOP to take most of the Capitol Hill seats while 41 percent are in favor of the Democrats.

Among these numbers, 25 percent of the surveyed said they feel positively towards the Democrats versus 53 percent who voted negatively. On the other hand, 46 percent of Independent-controlled respondents are less favorable for President Barack Obama's coalition.
