Voters appear to be taking President Donald Trump's advice to pretend he’s on the ballot this Election Day — and that’s not a good thing for the Republican president or his party. Early returns suggest major swings away from the GOP. The AP Voter Poll found voters nationwide were in the mood for change, and roughly three-quarters of voters feel “angry” or “dissatisfied” with the direction of the country. The poll also suggests most are deeply unhappy with Trump, with roughly 6 in 10 saying they disapprove of how he’s handling the presidency. In Georgia, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms was the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history. And the Trump-backed redistricting gamble was backfiring.
