A new Politico Poll finds “most voters on the left and right favor using partisan redistricting not just to level the playing field, but as a weapon to help them win,”
“Among voters who say they would vote for Democrats in the midterms, 54 percent say they support drawing maps to gain an advantage over Republicans in the midterms. A similar 52 percent of GOP voters agreed with gerrymandering to help their party, the survey of 2,098 U.S. adults found.”
