• 22: "As Midterms Near, GOP Leads on Key Issues, Democrats Have a More Positive Image"
• Voter sentiment shows deep dissatisfaction with the national situation, with only 29% satisfied and 65% dissatisfied, similar to levels seen in 2010.
• The Republican party holds a significant advantage on key issues like terrorism (47% view GOP favorably vs. 30% for Democrats), the budget deficit (48% vs. 33%), and the economy (44% vs. 38%).
• On qualities and traits, Democrats have an edge, with higher views rating them as more honest (42% favorable vs. 41% for Republicans), more concerned with people's needs (54% vs. 39%), and more willing to work with the other party (50% vs. 28%).
• Anti-incumbent sentiment nears record levels: 68% of registered voters oppose most representatives re-election, unchanged from July's survey. Cross-party differences, however, are minimal compared to previous midterms.
• Congressional preferences are nearly identical for Republicans and Democrats across age groups, races, education levels, income, and geography; however, there is a slight narrowing of the GOP voter registration edge compared to September's survey.
• The Democratic presidential job rating remains weak: 43% approve, 51% disapprove, unchanged from September. For battleground states, scheduling wait the final week potentially helps keep the gap narrow.
