Voters Evenly Divided Overshadowed by "horse race" reporting on voters' presidential candidate preferences are some striking findings in broader public opinion polls. For example, asked whether they are more likely to vote for a Republican or a Democratic candidate for Congress (without names), voters are evenly split, with very few undecided. Some polls, such as the December 2003 Associated Press poll, find Democrats slightly ahead, while CNN/USA Today's poll found Republicans just in front; the tight findings in both polls, however, were within the "margin of error," meaning that the results are an actual tie. This means that voters are highly-polarized, and it is unlikely that there will be a groundswell to overturn the current status quo in Washington. This is reinforced by other polls, which show voters support their current Representative by a 3-1 margin and many believe that "most members of the U.S. House of Representatives" should be re-elected. .. |
