Midterm results: Voters decide on Trump's economy and Iran war

mlive.com —

Voters head to the polls Tuesday in midterm elections widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump, with Democrats favored to win House control and compete for the Senate amid widespread anger over the economy and Iran war. Roughly three-quarters of voters feel angry or dissatisfied with national conditions, and about 6 in 10 blame Trump's policies for high prices, according to the AP Voter Poll. Democrats need to net four Senate seats and a House majority to curb Republican power, with early results in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Florida offering key signals. More than 59 million Americans voted early, while watchdogs fear potential federal interference in voting. The results will also shape Democratic Party identity and test whether Trump's gerrymandering push benefits Republicans or backfires.
