It’s true every election year, but this cycle especially: it’s the economy, stupid.

Voters have told us in nearly every poll and interview that they are deeply concerned about affordability and the rising cost of goods, from gas to groceries.

In states all over the country, including where we’re watching hotly contested Senate races, voters are smashing early voting records — which means they’re more motivated and enthusiastic than ever before in a midterm cycle.
