America's wits' end election approaches

As the U.S. midterm elections approach, a series of four national polls released by AP-NORC indicate that the American electorate is feeling deeply disgruntled and dissatisfied with the current administration in the White House.

The overall mood heading into the midterms is characterized as bleak, with data showing that a large majority of voters are seeking significant political change. Analysts note that the central question remaining is how these widespread negative sentiments will ultimately translate into voter behavior at the ballot box.
