America’s midterm elections are four months away, and newly released polling shows a blaring warning sign for Republicans.
Although Republicans currently control the White House, the US Senate, and the US House of Representatives, there has been constant gridlock between the US House and the US Senate, preventing the Senate from passing many bills sent to it by the House.
Voters across the country, therefore, seem willing to give Democrats a chance to hold some power.
New polling conducted by JL Partners for the Daily Mail shows that if the election was held tomorrow, 50 percent of likely voters would select a Democratic candidate at the ballot box.
Just 42 percent would select a Republican candidate, while eight percent of respondents, all likely voters, were unsure of who they would vote for.
Turnout is an issue that causes headaches for political operatives in both parties, particularly in midterm election years, but voting enthusiasm is high with both Democrats and Republicans.
Fifty-seven percent of Republicans and 56 percent of Democrats who responded to the Daily Mail’s poll noted that they were ‘very enthusiastic’ to vote in this year’s midterms.
Younger voters, aged 18 to 29, across party lines, were least likely to ‘very enthusiastic’ to vote in the midterms. Only 42 percent of voters in that demographic noted that response, the lowest of any other category.
That’s not what I heard. Truth is, the democrat party is self destructing.
Things have only gotten worse and more expensive since Trump took office again. You have to be deep in denial not to expect a lot of red seats flipped blue because people want change. Even Republican incumbents are losing primaries because they know the people currently in office arent helping anything. It’s normal for a shift in Congressional control in midterm elections.
Who in the world do these people poll, only “blue” people? I have never spoken with anyone that said they were notified to participate in a poll, whether “blue” or “red”. This crap is worthless…exercise your great American right and get your azz out there and vote!
