Just over half of likely voters predict a Republican takeover of Congress as a result of the upcoming midterm elections, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released this week found.
respondents, “What do you believe the outcome of the 2022 federal midterm elections will be?”
A plurality of Democrats, 46.9 percent, believe Republicans will win control of just one chamber, while 41.2 percent believe the Democrat party will maintain control in both. Just 12 percent of Democrats believe Republicans will take both chambers — a sentiment shared by 84.6 percent of Republicans and 52.8 percent of independents.
The survey was taken October 35-30, 2022, among 1,080 likely general election voters and has a +/- 2.9 percent margin of error. This combination of photos shows, Sen. Raphael Warnock speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, August 3, 2021, left, and Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker speaking in Perry, Georgia, September 25, 2021.
