American Polls Put Trump and Republicans Under Pressure.. Democrats Lead in Congressional Race

Washington - Afaq News - The latest opinion polls in the United States show a lead for the Democrats as the midterm elections scheduled for November approach, amid indications that control of the House of Representatives could shift to the Democratic Party, while the competition for the Senate remains closer.

According to the latest model from CBS News, the Democrats currently hold an advantage for a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, which requires 218 seats for control. The network indicates that these estimates are based on polls and statistical models and may change as the election date approaches.

As for the Senate, the picture is less clear; Republicans currently control 53 seats compared to 47 for the Democrats, while the Democrats need to achieve a net gain of four seats to take control of the chamber. Recent election reports indicate that several Republican seats have become more competitive.

The potential outcomes are significant for President Donald Trump's policies, as a loss of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, or in both chambers, could mean greater opposition from Congress to the administration's agenda, particularly on budget issues and domestic policies, in addition to the Senate's influence on appointments and foreign policy.

For Israel, any change in the composition of Congress could reflect on American discussions related to the Middle East, aid, and foreign policy, but the nature of this impact will depend on the election results, the composition of the chambers, and the positions of the new members, and thus it cannot be considered a predetermined outcome.

This comes as CBS data indicates that the economy, rising prices, and the war with Iran have become some of the most prominent issues affecting voter trends, with a difference in voters' positions regarding which party they prefer to manage these issues.
