Abortion will marginally affect a handful of races in blue states where Republicans have a shot like the NY governor’s race. But overall, it’s not a game-changer
The CBS Battleground Poll shows that Republicans have stopped a two-month slide and have stabilized their position while the Democrats have stalled out.
The CBS poll translates numbers into Congressional seats, and today’s numbers three weeks out from Election Day show 224 seats for the Republicans and 211 for the Democrats. But individual races are beginning to swing toward the GOP, so we can expect that number of seats to climb substantially. The Republicans are on the cusp of a wave election if they can win an additional 7-10 races.
What’s now driving the electorate are issues that radically favor the GOP: the economy and inflation. Republicans have a huge lead over Democrats on those issues, and inflation is the number one issue that people are concerned about.
We wanted to understand just how voters assign blame — or reward — on the economy.
