Quick Glance: Independent voters are wary of investigations and want the House GOP to produce results
  • In mid-January, the liberal firm conducted three focus groups with independent voters in Virginia, Texas, and Wisconsin.

  • They were held remotely via video conference, with a focus on the new Republican majority and its priorities.

  • According to Navigator's researchers, only one positive phrase — "optimistic" — was used to describe the feelings of nearly 20 independent voters in all three groups.

  • However, focus groups revealed that these voters, while deeply dissatisfied with Biden's performance thus far, are skeptical of the Republican majority's priorities.

  • Winston, the Republican pollster, saw the 2022 midterm elections through the eyes of fearful independent voters.
