Trump Seen As Important Factor In Americans’ Vote, As Democrats Open Up Lead

This election really is about Donald Trump.

Roughly two-thirds of voters say President Trump is a factor (either major or minor) in their vote in this year’s midterms, far more than said so in 2014 about then-President Barack Obama, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. …

Democrats rated health care as the top issue (at 26 percent) followed by climate change (at 13 percent). Nothing else cracked double digits. For Republicans, jobs and the economy took the top spot (at 30 percent), with immigration next (at 25 percent). Nothing else came close. CONT.
