Democratic Voters Demotivated, Frustrated Ahead of Midterms, Activists Say
Voter apathy could impact Tuesday’s midterm election turnout, especially among Democratic Party supporters who are frustrated with lack of progress on key priorities, activists told Sputnik. | The Republican Party appears well-positioned to wrench control of the House away from the Democrats, according to the most recent polls, while the fate of the Senate may come down to a handful of tight races, which some experts say may hinge on voter turnout. ● More than 39 million Americans have already cast votes in the midterms, according to official data collected by the US Election Project as of Sunday. ● Although states like Georgia have seen record turnout so far, election officials in Texas, Michigan, Iowa, Colorado, Washington, among others, have said the numbers are lagging compared to the 2018 midterms. ● Recent polling reveals that Republicans are much more enthusiastic about the midterms than their Democratic peers. According to a Marist-NPR-PBS NewsHour poll, 84% of registered Republicans said they were "very interested" in this year’s election compared to only 68 percent of Democrats and 58% of independents.
