Women Registered as Independents in Swing States Can Influence Midterms...If They Vote

“When it comes to deciding the key 2022 congressional races, the constituency that will make the greatest difference in the outcome is independent women. That is, women who do not currently identify as Democratic or Republican,” stated Tom Rogers, editor-at-large for Newsweek and founder of CNBC in his article.

Rogers made this assessment after viewing the results of a survey we did with our partners at Emerson College Polling. Together, we wanted to gain greater insight into the viewpoints of registered Independent women in key swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

We wanted to understand how the “most purple of voters in the most purple of states” felt about abortion, gun control, and democratic values, versus economic issues like inflation.
