A new CBS News poll predicted Sunday that Republicans would likely take control of the House of Representatives after November’s midterm elections — but the economic questions were the ones that foreshadowed even worse news for President Joe Biden.
The CBS/YouGov Battleground Tracker poll surveyed 2068 registered voters between October 12th and 14th, asking a number of questions about the upcoming elections, the overall state of the economy, and whether or not they were satisfied with the direction the country was heading.
The worst news for Democrats came from the questions about the economy, as 65% of those polled said that they felt like the United States economy was getting worse compared to only 15% who believed it was getting better. Another 20% said that the economy was staying the same.
