Greger, I’m use to partisan rants. I tend to ignore them. As a swing voter, a non-affiliated, certainly non-partisan which leans toward one party and then other I look at both major parties doing all they can, saying whatever, fear mongering as you said to retain power or to regain power. I’m also use to both parties governing for just their base, not America as a whole. That is what it is as one should expect no less in our two-party electoral system. There’s no viable third choice for those who are or are getting disgusted with the shenanigans of both major parties. Outside of voting in one party one election and voting them out the next. This too as presidents go is a time-honored tradition and is becoming one for congress lately. When I look at the preferred outcome of this year’s midterms, I look at independents and discard Republicans and Democrats.

Question 58. Preferred 2022 Senate Outcome - What is your preference for the outcome of this year’s elections for the U.S. Senate? Independents, swing voters answered 30% republican controlled, 23% democratic controlled, 15% evenly divided with a huge 32% no preference.

Question 60. Preferred 2022 House Outcome - What is your preference for the outcome of this year’s elections for the U.S. House of Representatives? Independents, swing voters answered 32% Republican controlled, 25% Democratic controlled, 12% evenly divided, with 31% answering no preference.

Roughly a third of independents answering no preference is interesting. I suspect they see little to no difference between the parties or given up caring realizing their wishes and wants are totally ignored by both major parties. This also shows in who independents plan on voting for this midterm. 41% for Republicans, 33% for Democrats.

Question 86. Generic Congressional Vote - If the election for U.S. Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
