BUT GOP HAS NOT CLOSED THE DEAL WITH VOTERS FOR 2022 MIDTERMS
INFLATION AND AFFORDABILITY IS THE TOP ISSUE ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM
ROE V. WADE IS ONLY SLIGHTLY IMPACTING DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK IN MIDTERMS
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today released the results of the July Harvard-CAPS Harris Poll, a monthly collaboration between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS) and the Harris Poll, a Stagwell research and insights firm.
Four in ten voters report feeling pessimistic about their lives over the next year in the face of historic inflation levels and data suggest we are looking at another hyper-partisan election cycle. The topics surveyed in this month's poll include the political impact of Roe vs. Wade, voter views on the Biden administration energy policy, the January 6 hearings, and the 2024 presidential election. Download key results here.
"Democrats can still hold onto hope ahead of the midterms, with the race a dead heat despite President Biden's approval rating being at a historic low and nearly half of Americans believing the country is currently in a recession," said Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard-CAPS Harris Poll. "Looking to 2024, most voters are still open to a moderate independent candidate, but among Republicans, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is solidifying his status as the second choice. In these divided times, voters themselves seem to be holding contradictory opinions on issues such as energy policy and Trump's legal culpability in the January 6 riots."
The July Harvard-CAPS Harris Poll survey was conducted online within the United States from July 27-28, 2022, among 1,885 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX.
