More Want GOP to Take Control of House and Senate

November 18, 2021 · 8:22 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new Quinnipiac poll finds that Americans say they would want to see the Republican Party win control of the House of Representatives, 46% to 38%, while 16% did not offer an opinion.

Meanwhile, Americans would also want to see Republicans win control of the U.S. Senate, 46% to 40%, while 15% did not offer an opinion.

Also interesting: If a candidate strongly embraces former President Trump, 42% say they would be less likely to vote for that candidate, 29% say they would be more likely to vote for that candidate, and 27% say it would have no impact.
