US midterms: Which voter groups shifted the election?

nos.nl (Dutch) —

The US midterm elections resulted in a significant shift from Republican to Democratic control, with Republicans losing Senate seats they had held for decades due to voter dissatisfaction with President Trump's policies. Preliminary analyses show voters across all ages, ethnicities, genders, and education levels moved toward Democrats, with the largest shifts among young voters, men, Latinos, and those with only a high school education. Young men shifted 38 percentage points to Democrats, while Latino voters moved 42 points in Texas and young Latino men shifted 47 points nationally. Many voters cited high living costs, diesel prices, and dissatisfaction with the Iran war, while Latinos also expressed concerns about immigration policies and deportation fears. White voters without college degrees in agricultural states were unhappy with import tariffs and fuel costs. Democrats remain unpopular at 28 percent approval, suggesting many votes were against Trump rather than for the party.
