According to a PBS News/NPR/Marist survey, voters appear to be treating the election as a direct endorsement of the president, yet the results show Democratic congressional candidates holding a notable advantage over their Republican counterparts. The poll highlights a potential disconnect between Trump’s messaging and voter sentiment, raising questions about how his influence could shape the outcome. The findings offer a snapshot of shifting political dynamics ahead of Election Day.
