Voters swung hard toward the Republicans in late September, suggesting the Democrats’ summer surge is waning as the midterm elections approach, according to a new poll from Monmouth University.
In the survey, the Democrats saw their standing in the generic ballot shrink from a 50% to 43% lead over the Republicans in August to a 47% to 44% deficit last month, with more respondents preferring Republican control of Congress. The poll ran from Sept. 21-25. The survey also found economic concerns trumping abortion, with 82% saying inflation was their top priority and 68% saying jobs and unemployment were most important, compared to 56% who said the same about abortion.
“Because the congressional map favors the GOP, Democrats need to do more than ‘keep it close’ in order to hold onto their House majority. One roadblock for them is that the issue picture favors Republicans,” Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement.The Monmouth Poll surveyed 806 “adults” and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
