Why should it? The Republicans made it very clear before the election that they had no interest in working with Obama and the Democrats. They promised they would bring the government to a grinding halt (more so than before). Some people contacted by pollsters may have assured themselves that their Republican vote was just a plea to get the parties to work together but they're lying, either to themselves to the pollster or both. If Americans really wanted a situation where the Democrats and Republicans were going to work together, they wouldn't have voted for a slate of Republicans who promised the opposite at every opportunity.
