Quinnipiac: 51% of Americans want Democrats in the lead of the House of Representatives

Five weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party is 12 percentage points ahead of the Republican Party in popularity among voters in the fight for the House of Representatives. This follows from a Quinnipiac University survey.

51% of voters prefer to see the head of the lower house of Democrats, while Republicans support only 39%. Donald Trump’s job as president is approved by only 34% of respondents.

Americans are equally skeptical of the current bipartisan situation in Congress, with 67 percent disapproving of Republicans and 69 percent disapproving of Democrats. But on all key fronts – from the economy and cost of living to foreign policy and AI regulation – citizens have more confidence in Democrats.

According to a previous study by Quinnipiac University on September 10, 49% of respondents would vote for Democrats and 38% for Republicans. 13% of respondents have not yet made a decision.
