CNN poll: Democrats are deeply motivated for the midterms despite having dismal views of party leaders
Democrats hold a 16-point edge among deeply motivated voters despite only 28% approving of their congressional leaders, according to a CNN/SSRS poll.
- The Democratic Party shows a deeply motivated base and leads by 5 points in the generic congressional ballot, with a 16-point advantage among deeply motivated voters this year.
- Democrats enter this year with a chance to capitalize on dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled government, while approval for congressional Democratic leaders stands at just 28%, and many Democratic-aligned voters say leaders have done too little to oppose Trump.
- Republicans largely consolidate around saying the country is worse off, with roughly three-quarters approving GOP congressional leaders, while 48% of Democrats approve their party's leaders in Congress.
- That discontent could affect how primary challengers to sitting members of Congress play out in the coming months, while registered voters still favor Democrats on the generic ballot by roughly 2-to-1.
- The CNN/SSRS poll was conducted online and by phone from January 9–12 among 1,209 adults, including 968 registered voters, with a margin of sampling error ±3.1 points.
