U.S. midterms raise a question that a winning seat count alone cannot settle: what are voters actually supporting? If you’re trying to interpret a shift in the polls, Ryan’s questions offer a useful distinction between enthusiasm for one party and frustration with another.

Even Republican support needs a closer look. Ryan cites polling that separates MAGA supporters from other Republicans, with a striking difference between them. What might that split mean for the party beyond this election?

Then there’s the Canadian hope that a different result brings a simpler relationship with Washington. How much should you assume? Questions about Democratic priorities and the next generation of party leadership make this a conversation about what follows the vote, as well as who wins it.
