POLITICO has a new poll out that tries to take this into account. Instead of polling nationally or in just one state, the publication took an aggregated sample from all of the states and districts where the hottest races are going on in 2014.


Moreover, the poll gives a hint at what kind of electorate Democrats will face in the battleground states and districts this fall. It looks a lot like a firing squad. Of the respondents surveyed in these states and districts,

83% live in union-free households.

77% are white

64% are married.

59% disapprove of President Obama, whereas 40 percent approve.

55% self-describe as either conservative or conservative-leaning moderate.

55% believe the nation is “off on the wrong track.”

53% believe that “a member of Congress should stand by their principles at all times, even if that means sacrificing benefits for their district

52% oppose state sanctioning of same-sex marriage, versus 48% who support it.

46% plan to vote for or lean toward the Republican candidate in their state/district.

34% plan to vote for or lean toward the Democratic candidate in their state/district.

34% consider themselves “born-again or evangelical” Christians.

27% self-identify as liberal or liberal-leaning moderate
.
19% oppose any restrictions on abortion whatsoever.

2% say the environment is their most important issue.

At most 1% and as few as zero respondents volunteered gun control as their most important issue.
