Voters are sending a message that, no matter who wins the midterm elections, they hope the outcome produces some checks and balances on President Trump’s powers.
That is one of the main findings of our new Wall Street Journal poll, which was conducted recently as early voting was under way in many states.
A majority of voters say they want a candidate for Congress who will put guardrails on Trump’s powers, and a majority prefers a candidate who will vote to end the war with Iran. Even many Republicans, the poll found, say they will back GOP candidates for Congress but still prefer a candidate who would provide a check on the president.
