Voters Shift Toward Democrats in Midterms

About this episode

Voters are shifting toward Democrats in the midterms due to economic concerns and low approval ratings for President Trump.

Voters are shifting decisively toward Democrats in the midterms, with a ten-point edge over Republicans and independents leaning fifteen points their way—driven by inflation, gas prices, and the Iran conflict. Economic anxiety is top of mind, President Trump’s approval at 39% (even lower among independents) and record-low consumer sentiment fuel the trend. Historically, the president’s party loses seats—and with Trump’s influence still potent despite not running, Republicans must show economic recovery before November or risk losing control of Congress.
