Poll Shows Democrats STILL Unpopular With Voters on Three Major Issues

Common wisdom holds that Democrats are likely to retake the House in next year’s midterms. Perhaps — that’s what history would suggest.

But a recent poll shows that Republicans retain relative strength on important core issues.

CNN’s Harry Enten summarized those data well in a recent appearance: Looking at the Washington Post/IPSOS poll, Enten found that Republicans retained a lead over Democrats on which party voters trust more to handle the economy, crime and immigration.

The numbers aren’t close, either.

The GOP leads the Democrats by 7 percentage points on the economy, 13 points on immigration and a whopping 22 points on crime.
