A growing number of Americans are worried that the midterm elections will result in a divided government and split control of Congress after November, according to a new poll.
An Axios-Ipsos poll published on Oct. 1 found that 53 percent of Americans are concerned that the elections may result in a divided government, where one party controls the Senate and one controls the House of Representatives, as defined by Axios-Ipsos.
That concern is higher among Democrats, with 64 percent stating that they are more worried about this outcome compared to 51 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of Independents, according to the poll.
Elsewhere, concerns about either party having total control of Congress are relatively even, according to the poll, which found that 49 percent said they are at least somewhat worried that the Democrats will maintain control of both the Senate and House of Representatives after the midterm elections, while 46 percent are concerned Republicans will take control of both chambers….
