Anger May Help Democrats in the Midterms



October 24, 2018 at 7:33 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that “across the country, people are seething. After a vitriolic 2016 presidential election, anger continues to dominate public discourse, from raucous protests with huge crowds to incensed social media debates that tear families and friendships apart.”

“That anger will drive voters to the polls in next month’s elections – and greater rage among Democratic voters could give the party’s candidates a boost.”

“Angry Americans will be more likely to vote, and Democrats are generally more angry about their hot-button issues than Republicans… That is a change from two years ago, when Republicans and Democrats were equally furious.”

recalcitrant nonvoter ass to the polls. Sadly, although plenty are conservatives, more are not.
