ABC News reports that Republicans have an early and strong lead over Democrats for the upcoming elections. ABC hates the Right which gives this report a bit more weight.
Republican congressional candidates currently hold their largest lead in midterm election vote preferences in ABC News/Washington Post polls dating back 40 years, ABC News reports.
While a year is a lifetime in politics, the Democratic Partyโs difficulties are deep; they include soaring economic discontent, a president whoโs fallen 12 percentage points underwater in job approval, and a broad sense that the party is out of touch with the concerns of most Americans — 62% say so.
They found economic discontent was a top issue.
Independents, often swing voters in national elections, favor GOP candidates by 50-32 percent; they voted +12 points Democratic in 2018. Moderates divide closely, +6 points for Democratic candidates, 48-42 percent, as opposed to +26 points in 2018. Suburban voters favor Republicans by 54-39 percent, rural voters by a broad 66-26 percent. The Democratic advantage among urban residents, 52-38 percent, again is well off their 2018 result.
Demonstrating the role of the economy, those who say itโs in excellent or good shape favor Democratic candidates by 75-19 percent. But among the broad majority who say itโs in worse shape than that โ not so good or poor โ Republican candidates are favored, 63-28 percent.
Republican advantages in two core groups โ non-college-educated white men and women, are more than 20 points broader now than in 2018. And another heartening result for Republicans is among Hispanics: They favor Democrats, but by just a 15-point margin, 49-34 percent.
