US democracy, Trump fatigue, cost of living are top issues with voters, AP survey finds
Roughly 6 in 10 voters deeply disapprove of US President Donald Trump's presidency, according to an AP survey released Tuesday. About 4 in 10 say the economy is the most important issue while 3 in 10 say the state of US democracy is of primary concern – well above the number that rated crime or immigration as most important.
An AP survey reveals that voters are increasingly dissatisfied with the current state of the country, with approximately three-quarters expressing they feel "angry" or "dissatisfied." According to The Korea Times, roughly 6 in 10 voters deeply disapprove of President Donald Trump's presidency, and about 6 in 10 attribute higher than usual prices to his policies rather than factors outside his control.
The economy and the state of US democracy have emerged as primary concerns for voters. France 24 reports that about 4 in 10 respondents named the economy as the most important issue, while 3 in 10 prioritized the state of democracy, ranking these concerns above immigration or crime. The Indian Express notes that 75% of those polled described the economy as poor or not so good.
As midterm elections held on November 3 progress, voters are deciding the control of all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats. The Indian Express reports that voters are also choosing governors in 36 states. While Republicans currently hold both chambers of Congress, Democrats require a net gain of three House seats and four Senate seats to take control.
