| "Early data suggests that the Supreme Court's decision to overrule Dobbs v. Jackson earlier this year - returning the issue of abortion to the states - did play a role in this midterm, as more than a quarter of voters in the exit polls listed it as a 'top issue'." | Negative | -22% Liberal |

| "Regaining the House will have plenty of practical benefits for the Republican party, not least, if he wants to get legislation through, forcing President Biden to the negotiating table with any plans he has for the next two years." | Negative | -2% Liberal |
| "Trump did have a few big wins for his heavily endorsed candidates: mainly J.D Vance in Ohio, who was aounced early in the night as the new Senator for Ohio, beating Democrat candidate Tim Ryan by roughly six percentage points." | Negative | -8% Liberal |
| "Meanwhile Republican Herschel Walker trails Democrat Raphael Warnock in Georgia by half a point." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
| "And Donald Trump's eccentric picks performed worse than expected." | Negative | -38% Liberal |
