That’s the percentage of voters who say there has been more mud-slinging and negative campaigning this year compared with recent elections. On the eve of the previous midterm, just 51% said that campaign was marred by more mud-slinging, while 52% expressed that view shortly before the 1998 midterms.
That’s the tiny percentage of Americans who, going into this week’s elections, said they had heard a lot about the concern among some politicians and political experts over the lack of competitiveness in U.S. elections.

That’s the percentage of registered voters who say the issue of which party controls Congress will be a factor in their vote when they go to the polls Tuesday. That’s much higher than in recent midterm elections. More Democrats than Republicans say party control matters (73% vs. 65%). But party control is a bigger factor for Republicans than it was just a few weeks ago (65% vs. 58% in early October).
