Interviews with midterm voters show Republicans continually underperform Democrats with one of the ripest targets in politics — independents who say they don’t lean toward either party.
Why it matters: The interviews, by AP VoteCast (methodology), show a critical mass of moderates aren’t thrilled with Democrats — but are resistant to a MAGA-fied GOP.
The data show Republicans have been stuck in the high 30s among independents in each of the past three elections.
Between the lines: In November, independents didn’t entirely blame Biden for the bad economy, even though they rated it poorly, AP reports.
Reality check: That nuance was often missing from GOP messaging.
