Americans are closely divided over which party’s candidate they would support in their congressional districts, with preferences in competitive districts tilting toward Republicans, according to a new CNN Poll
conducted by SSRS. But about 4 in 10 voters say neither party’s candidates in their congressional districts have a clear plan for solving the country’s problems. Among likely voters nationwide, the race is a tight split, with 50% backing the Democratic candidate and 47% behind the Republican.
With that shift, Democrats and independents have become less likely to consider the economy or inflation a deeply critical issue. As that shift has occurred, the wide gaps in issue priorities by party that have been consistent across polling this year have grown. For Democrats in the new poll, voting and elections , abortion , gun policy and climate change are the most highly rated issues, while among Republicans, it is the economy , inflation , immigration and voting at the top.
