Republicans Move Closer To House Majority, But Democrats Show Strength

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Ali, who is from Pakistan, said he has long supported Democrats but has lately been frustrated by inflation and illegal immigration.
45% :All told, Republicans spent $359 million on broadcast advertising aimed at framing the contest as a referendum on Democratic policies around crime and inflation, while Democrats pushed back with $422 million in ads largely focused on Republican efforts to ban access to abortion and more broadly on what they cast as GOP extremism, according to AdImpact, which tracks television and digital political ads.
41% : That was more than other issues such as crime, gun policy and immigration, and just a bit higher than abortion.
40% : Republican efforts to use concerns over inflation and crime to strike deep into Democratic territory ran up against Democratic backlash against the new restrictions on abortion and concern about GOP extremism.
35% : Mary and Jeff King said they voted for Republican J.D. Vance in Ohio's Senate race - even as Mary called Vance a "liar" and said, "I don't think he'll live up to any of the promises he made.""It's more important to defeat the Democrats," said Jeff, who went on to explain that as a Catholic, the number one issue driving his vote is abortion.
