The AP Voter Poll released the same day showed that about 60% of voters disapproved of President Trump's job performance, about three-quarters were angry or dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and about 70% wanted Congress to strengthen checks and balances on the president; voters' top issues were the economy (40%) and democracy (30%). Control of the Senate and the House has not yet been determined, and vote counting is still underway.
