Poll: Majority Believe that if Democrats Win the Midterm Elections, It’s Bad News for an Already Flagging Economy
(Austin, TX—October 24, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted October 8th through October 11th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“The data is clear–the American people are keenly aware that progressive policies spell disaster for the economy,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “The voters are seeing the consequences in real time, with reckless White House spending bills such as the poorly named ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ as well as the Biden administration’s hostile policies against American energy rearing their ugly heads. If this continues, how much worse could it get?”
