U.S. Voters Cast 2026 Midterm Choices Against Trump, Abortion and Immigration

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 1

2 days before the midterms, voters interviewed across the U.S. said their choices are being driven largely by what they oppose rather than by enthusiasm for either party.
Democratic-leaning voters most often cited Donald Trump and his administration — pointing to corruption, cost of living, lies and unmet promises — even though Trump is not on the ballot.
Republican voters also framed their decisions negatively, saying they want to block socialism, liberal social policy, abortion rights expansion and gun-control measures.
Specific issues still shaped some votes, including ICE and DHS enforcement, support for Israel over Palestine, gun rights and the economy.
Control of Congress is at stake, with Democrats trying to win enough seats to check Trump’s legislative agenda for the rest of his presidency.
