Most Americans don’t want to see incumbents reelected in Washington, poll finds
Independents are the least impressed by current representation in Washington; only 36% say their representative should be reelected
A recent Gallup poll reveals a troubling trend for incumbents in the upcoming midterm elections, as fewer Americans believe their representatives deserve reelection. Only 43% of US adults support their own representatives, with a record low of 15% believing most members should be reelected. Independents are particularly dissatisfied, with just 36% backing their representative's bid for a second term.
Congress's overall favorability has plummeted, with only 14% approving of its performance. Republican approval has particularly declined from 53% shortly after taking control of Washington to a current 29%.
