We're Headed for Another 'Change' Election


October 1, 2018 at 8:47 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

First Read: “One finding from this month’s NBC/WSJ poll that didn’t get as much attention as it deserved was this number: 59% of voters said they wanted to see a ‘great deal’ or ‘quite a bit’ of change from the way President Trump has been leading the country. By contrast, 40% said they wanted no change/not that much change/just some change.”

“That 59% wanting change was almost identical to the 62% who said this on the same question in November 1994 (when Republicans won control of Congress), and the 63% who said this in October 2010 (when the GOP won the House and picked up six Senate seats).”

“What’s more, those who said they wanted change in our September 2018 poll included 61 percent of independents, 65% of voters living in competitive House districts, 59% of suburban residents and even 32% of Republican voters (!!!).”
