In this video, Gallup Editor in Chief Frank Newport discusses the indicators he’ll be watching over the next year to gain insight into the likely trends in the midterm elections.
Here’s Gallup’s take on how the generic congressional ballot looks today.
Our friends over at Pollster.com report on the results of a recent Pew survey on what stories voters are most closely following:
Most Closely Followed Story
32% Reports about swine flu and the vaccine
27% Debate over health care reform
15% Reports about the condition of the U.S. economy
9% The U.S. military effort in Afghanistan
4% the federal government’s plans to cut the pay of top executives at financial companies that received bailout money
1% News about political instability in Pakistan
They also have some very interesting data on the news outlets voters turn to for information on the issues of the day.
