Polls show more voters trust Republicans on the economy as interest in the midterm elections is high

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on MSNBC Sunday that she doesn’t “buy” the idea that voters don’t trust Democrats on the economy.

Republicans “have no solution to inflation,” she said.

Americans from both parties have shown record interest in this midterm election, according to an NBC News poll released Sunday: 70 percent of registered voters expressed interest in the upcoming election as a “9” or “10” on a 10-point scale, the poll said — the highest NBC recorded in a midterm poll this season.

Republicans showed more enthusiasm, with 78 percent showing a high level of interest, compared to 69 percent for Democrats.

In the ABC poll, Republicans were within error on how to handle immigration, with 35 percent of Americans saying they trust them more, compared with 32 percent who preferred Democrats.

The president’s party typically loses congressional seats in midterm elections, although some polls showed Democrats closing in on the Republican lead earlier in the cycle, particularly in the summer.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted Oct. 21-22 in English and Spanish among a random national sample of 686 adults. It had a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The NBC News poll was conducted Oct. 14-18 among 1,000 registered voters. It had an overall sampling error margin of 3.1 points and a sampling error margin among likely voters of plus or minus 3.47 points.
