ELECTION UPDATE | Exit poll: Voters unhappy with Obama and GOP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans voting Tuesday were unhappy or even angry with the Obama administration, exit polls show. But most were upset with Republican leaders, too.

The biggest concern is still the economy, the surveys of people leaving polling places showed, six years after the 2008 financial crisis helped propel President Barack Obama into his first term in office.

Most voters say the economy is stagnating or getting worse. Just 1 in 5 say they trust the government to do what is right most or all of the time, slightly fewer than in the 1994 midterms, when Republicans seized control of the House and Senate, and the last time the exit poll asked that question.

Most midterm voters were pessimistic. They were more than twice as likely to say that life will be worse for the next generation than to say things will get better.

Republicans were getting some of the blame, however. About a quarter of voters say they are dissatisfied or angry with both GOP leaders in Congress and Obama, whose name isn’t on the ballot. Another 6 in 10 are unhappy with one or the other of them.
