Majority of voters want change, AP-NORC poll finds
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 12:02 · Archive
A strong majority of voters believe President Trump is falling short and want major change in upcoming midterm elections.
An AP-NORC poll conducted less than four weeks before the midterm election finds that a strong majority of voters believe President Trump is falling short at home and abroad and want major change in Congress. Democratic voters are more enthusiastic about casting a ballot than Republican voters, and more voters want Democrats to win control of Congress, with more holding negative views of Republicans. The findings paint a challenging picture for Republicans, who currently control Congress amid an unpopular war with Iran and surging prices at home.
About eight in ten voters overall cite the economy or cost of living as a top issue for the election, while about two-thirds say the same about healthcare and the war in Iran. Other issues that favour Trump, such as immigration or crime, rank as lower priorities among voters. One voter, Diana Walker, a 65-year-old Democrat from Georgia, expressed frustration: 'The world is going backwards. We can barely afford anything. Everybody's down.'
