Voters also want stronger checks on the presidency, with about 70% saying Congress is doing too little, the poll found.
- As voters cast ballots on Tuesday in high-stakes 2026 midterm elections, the AP Voter Poll found roughly three-quarters feel "angry" or "dissatisfied" with the country's direction.
- Voters cited the economy as the most important issue, with 6 in 10 blaming Trump's policies for higher prices rather than external factors.
- More than 59 million Americans voted early, though technical problems forced polling sites in North Carolina and Pennsylvania to extend hours to manage delays.
- Roughly 7 in 10 voters told the AP Voter Poll that Congress is doing "not enough" to provide checks and balances, while Democrats must flip four Senate and three House seats to gain control.
- Voters are also deciding abortion-rights measures in 4 states and reviewing Trump-backed redistricting plans in eight states that could reshape the 2028 election cycle.
