Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, October 22, 2026 —
An AP-NORC poll indicates that voters want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and addressing the situation in Iran. Fewer voters prioritize investigations into President Donald Trump, according to the poll summary.
The findings point to affordability and Iran as issues voters want lawmakers to address. The summary does not provide percentages showing how many voters named either issue, or how those levels compare with support for congressional investigations. It also does not specify whether respondents could select more than one priority.
Details about the poll’s timing, sample size, methodology and margin of error were not provided in the available summary. The summary also does not describe the specific affordability concerns respondents had in mind or what actions they want Congress to take regarding Iran.
The findings concern voters’ stated priorities for the next Congress; they do not establish what lawmakers will ultimately pursue. The available information does not identify differences among voter groups or indicate whether preferences varied by party, region or other characteristics.
Without the underlying figures and methodology, the relative strength of each preference cannot be assessed from the summary alone. The reported result is that affordability and the situation in Iran rank among voters’ priorities, while fewer prioritize investigations into Trump.
