Voters Favor Democrats on Key Issues but Lack Faith in Either Party to Solve Problems: AP-NORC Poll

The party has a 38% to 27% edge on cost of living, but only about 2 in 10 voters say Democrats solve problems well.

  • The AP-NORC poll of 2,140 adults conducted Sept. 24-28 shows Democrats have gained ground on cost-of-living issues, with 38% of registered voters favoring the Democratic Party compared to 27% for Republicans.
  • Partisan disputes over spending in Congress have triggered repeated government shutdowns in the last year, fueling voter dissatisfaction as consumers face higher prices for daily necessities like groceries and gasoline.
  • About 6 in 10 registered voters say Republicans appear "focused on helping rich and powerful people," while only about 3 in 10 say the same about the Democratic Party, the survey found.
  • Voters remain skeptical of both parties: 55% of registered voters describe the Republican Party as "too extreme," while 45% say the same about the Democratic Party, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction.
  • Despite Democrats' polling gains, only about 2 in 10 registered voters say the Democratic Party is "able to solve important problems," signaling deep voter skepticism that will challenge both parties heading into November.
