After 22 disheartening months of the Trump presidency, the Pew Research Center released a national survey, Sept. 26, with encouraging news for the future of our democracy.
With just weeks to go before Americans elect a new Congress, the polling data from the non-partisan Pew organization [http://www.people-press.org/] confirmed that “voter enthusiasm is at its highest level during any midterm in more than two decades.”
Far more Americans said their midterm vote will be against President Trump than expressed support for him; and a record share of registered voters (72 percent) said that the issue of which party controls Congress will be a factor in their vote.
Clearly, there is substantial national support for electing a Congress that will be a “check” on the President and his administration.
Nevertheless, for reform Democrats to regain the majority in Congress and “check” the worst tendencies of the Trump Administration, we also must present the American people with a positive vision of what our “Democracy Restored” would look like.
