Gallup: “The 49% of Americans who say they have given ‘quite a lot’ of thought to this year’s congressional elections is essentially unchanged from the previous reading in June. In addition, 2% volunteer that they have given the midterms ‘some’ thought, while 44% of U.S. adults say they have given them ‘only a little.'”
“While the June figure was unusually high for that point in the midterm election cycle, this lack of change is a departure from previous elections. Typically, as Election Day draws closer, the amount of thought given to an election increases.”
“Although the current percentage of Americans who say they are thinking a lot about the elections is five percentage points lower than the final preelection reading in 2018 — a year when turnout was the highest in a midterm election in over 100 years — it is on par with the 48% average for this measure since 1994.”
