Said GOP pollster Bill McInturff: Americans are hitting the brake in a midterm, and trying to send the signal that they’re not satisfied.”
Key finding: And by a 42% to 31% margin, voters say their message in November will be for more Democrats to serve as a check and balance to Trump and the congressional Republicans, instead of Republicans who will help Trump and the GOP pass their agenda.”
