Ipsos Senior Vice President Mallory Newall said polling from recent weeks and months showed voters were increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump as Americans voted in the Nov. 3 U.S. midterms.
France 24 published Newall’s interview on Nov. 4. The broadcaster said polls suggested Democrats could have a good or potentially historic night.
The remarks add to debate over Trump’s influence on Republican campaigns. EconoTimes reported Nov. 2 that Richard Johnson, a senior lecturer in U.S. politics at Queen Mary University of London, questioned whether Trump could still mobilize Republican voters. Johnson cited household cost concerns and dissatisfaction with the Iran war, and said Latino voters, agricultural communities and some MAGA supporters might shift their political support or stay away from elections. He also raised the possibility that Trump’s influence could become a liability for Republicans, in earlier coverage of Johnson’s assessment. Johnson presented those voter responses as possibilities, not settled decisions.
