Election 2018 exit poll analysis: 56 percent say country on 'wrong track'

Source: ABC News

In results so far, 44 percent of voters approve of Trump's job performance, while 55 percent disapprove.

And while the House races will be fought district by district, voters by 53-43 percent say they'd rather see the Democrats than the Republicans in control of the House after this election.

Antipathy toward Trump doesn't reach majority support for impeachment - 41 percent of voters support impeaching the president and removing him from office, with 55 percent opposed. Still, 39 percent say they cast their ballots to show opposition to Trump, vs. 26 percent who say they voted to show him support. (33 percent say he didn't figure in their vote.)

There are vast divisions among groups on Trump and control of Congress, and voters recognize today's political polarization. 77 percent say Americans are becoming more politically divided, while just 8 percent see greater unity. (13 percent see no change.)

IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET, GO DO THAT -- THEN COME BACK TO DU!

It looks like the Democrats made a wise decision not to make the election about impeachment -- which is a bridge too far for most Americans AT THE MOMENT.


MANY of these results look favorable for Democrats. . . . fingers crossed.

AND PLEASE VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!!!

How this incompetent monster has 44 percent is beyond me. If all was right in this country, Trump and everyone running like him, would lose by 60 points minimum.

The real irony is that they don't really love Trump. No one could look up to or admire him. They just hate those who hate him more.

there is not enough in the Senate to convict.

What does need to happen though, is some real oversight of the Executive branch - particularly when it comes to ethics.
