September 1, 2021: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of registered voters feel very motivated to cast a ballot in next year’s midterm elections. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that another 21% are somewhat motivated to participate next year.[1]
Voters who prefer policies like those of former GOP President Donald Trump have a higher level of motivation than others. Seventy percent (70%) of voters who prefer Trump policies are very motivated. Among the smaller number who prefer traditional Republican politics, just 50% are that motivated.[1]
On the other side of the aisle, 61% of those who prefer traditional Democratic policies are very motivated; so are 60% of those who prefer policies like those of independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.[1]
