With the Nov. 3 midterms approaching, a CBS News video says recent polling points to issue-based motivations among voters, while a separate Politico poll found partisan differences in stated reasons for voting.
The video features Fin Gómez, Nancy Cordes and Ed O’Keefe. Its description says polling suggests voters are going to the polls over certain issues.
The Politico poll found that 48% of Democratic voters named opposition to President Donald Trump as their main reason for voting, while 38% of Republicans cited support for him. Local candidates were the leading motivation for 48% of Republicans and 37% of Democrats.
The figures describe respondents’ stated motivations ahead of the midterm elections, scheduled for Nov. 3.
