Voters vow to elect a Congress that stands up to Trump, poll shows - USA Today



Americans are mad, and that is putting Republicans at risk.

A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds voters looking toward the midterm elections are overwhelmingly unhappy with the country's direction, dissatisfied with its political leadership, and interested in electing a Congress that will confront President Trump.

By close to 2-1, 58%-32%, those surveyed say they want to elect a Congress that mostly stands up to the president, not one that mostly cooperates with him.

The Republican Party has a dismal rating: 27% had a favorable opinion of the GOP; 60% an unfavorable one. That's a net negative rating of 33 percentage points.

...Among those who have a preference, Republicans by more than 2-1 would prefer to vote for a man. Democrats by nearly 7-1 would prefer to vote for a woman. - USA Today
