WASHINGTON — Democrats closed the gap with Republicans in voter enthusiasm during the final days before the U.S. midterm elections, which remain “highly competitive,” according to an NBC News poll.
While that’s a measure of good news for President Joe Biden as his party seeks to retain control of both houses of Congress, a Washington Post-ABC News poll suggests that Republicans are more certain about actually casting a vote.
Both surveys provide renewed evidence that Republicans have the edge on economic concerns and that President Joe Biden’s popularity remains low. Republicans are positioned to take control of the House, according to the Washington Post-ABC News poll.
