WASHINGTON– Seventy-one percent of those polled by Morning Consult today believe that with two weeks left until the Nov. 8 midterm elections, the United States is headed in the wrong direction.
In a poll by this firm, just 29 percent believe the nation is on the right track, with a trend tumbling this month.
With the midterm elections that will determine whether the Democratic or Republican party will have control of the Senate and House of Representatives, voters have the economy as their main issue at the time of voting.
According to other company research, about three in five voters said they believe inflation is getting worse, including 78 percent of Conservatives, 63 percent of Independents and 41 percent of Nationals who identify with the color blue.
Analysts warn of polling inaccuracy, particularly in the midterm elections held two years after the president took power, but agree it will be a close fight with Democrats losing every day in the forecasts.
A poll by the New York Times and Siena College released Monday showed that independents and women are leaning towards the Republican Party, even as Democrats have placed abortion rights at the center of the debate.
The scan found that 49 percent of registered voters across the country said they would vote for a Red Power candidate to represent them in Congress, while 45 percent said they intend to support Blue Power.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont Independent) pointed out that the Democratic Party spends too much time talking about abortion rights and not enough about economic inequality.
Meanwhile, younger House Democrats vying for their seat in Congress, like Elissa Slotkin (Michigan), stressed that the party leadership had lost touch with many voters.
