Cost of living and democracy are top voter concerns in midterms
Voters cite cost of living and the state of democracy as their top concerns, with roughly three-quarters dissatisfied with the country's direction.
Roughly three-quarters of US voters say they feel angry or dissatisfied with the country's direction, according to polls released on election day Tuesday. About four in ten voters named the economy as the most important issue, with three in ten citing the state of democracy as their primary concern. About six in ten voters blame President Trump's policies for high inflation rather than external factors. Roughly the same proportion say Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions. About 70 per cent of voters want Congress to exercise stronger checks and balances on the presidency. Young voters and Hispanic voters appear to have moved away from Republican candidates compared with Trump's 2024 performance.
