As more ballots are counted in the US midterm elections, early post-election analysis indicates that many voters favored The Democrats. Recent polling had pointed to a possible “blue wave,” and the results so far suggest a stronger opposition for President Donald Trump to contend with.
The analysis identifies the rising cost of living, the length of the war with Iran and Trump’s unpopularity as key concerns shaping voters’ views. It also finds that Republican support fell sharply among several voter groups, while Democrats gained votes. The available information does not specify which groups were affected.
Counting is not yet complete, so the picture may change as additional results come in.
