US Midterm Elections

With the US midterm elections only a week away, the campaign to gain a majority in the Senate and Congress is hitting a crescendo as candidates attempt to engage their local constituencies. There is a good chance the mid-terms will provide the Democrats with a big opportunity to place a check on the power of US president Donald Trump, but much will come down to local campaigning and just how accurate the current polls are in gauging the mood of the nation.

Stephen Hill asked research director of the US States Centre Dr Jared Mondschein whether next week's midterm results could lead to a negative assessment of the second Trump administration.
