The Democratic Party, riding a tide of anti-Donald Trump sentiment, enters the final stretch of the midterm campaign with a 10-point advantage over Republicans nationwide in voters’ choice in their own congressional district, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
More than three-quarters of voters see this election as their chance to change things up in Washington, the poll finds. Trump’s approval rating stands at a record low of 32%, and voters express broad dissatisfaction with both the economy and the state of the country nearly two years into unified GOP control of the federal government. Those sentiments work against the GOP in its effort to hold on to Congress, even as some voters express skepticism that a Democratic win would bring meaningful improvement.
It’s not trump, Trump’s been around for a decade.
It’s that Dem state parties were able to spend at campaign levels the last two years instead of the last two weeks.
That helped progressives win primaries, and now people have something to vote for, which always works better than having something to vote against
