Anger on their minds': NBC News poll finds sky-high interest and polarization ahead of midterms

NBC News

Less than three weeks before Election Day, voter interest has now reached an all-time high for a midterm election, with a majority of registered voters saying that this election is “more important” to them than past midterms.

What’s more, some 80% of Democrats and Republicans believe the political opposition poses a threat that, if not stopped, will destroy America as we know it.

And two-thirds of reliable Democratic and Republican voters say they’d still support their party’s political candidate, even if that person had a moral failing that wasn’t consistent with their own values.

These are some of the major findings of a brand-new national NBC News poll, which also shows a competitive contest for November and offers positive signs for both major political parties.

We formed our perception from watching the news and MAGA rallies. The Republicans get their perceptions from listening to the pathological lying Trump and the brainwashing effects of right wing propaganda.
