U.S. Voters Using Midterms to Send Trump a Message




WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sixty percent of registered voters, the highest in recent midterm elections, say they are using their vote this year to send a message about the president. More say they are signaling their opposition to President Donald Trump (34%) than their support for him (26%), marking the fourth consecutive midterm election in which opposition exceeds support. This year's eight-percentage-point margin matches the gap seen in 2010, Barack Obama's first midterm, when his party lost 63 seats and majority control in the House.
