Hes not on the ballot, jeff, int he is on voters minds. Rossacross the battleground states, we see voters telling us erat they see their vote as either in support of or in opposition to the president. And that could reach historic levels this year. Now, typically, in midterms, voters say that the president is a factor, but were seeing those levels now go up by double digits.

Democrats, the focus is on health care. Yeah, because in all the states we polled, voters are saying they think the democrats would protect preexisting wonditions more so than they think the republicans would do that, by wide margins.
