Battleground district poll: What voters in key districts are saying on Election Day

The fight for control of the House came down to the outcomes of a few key races, despite elections in all 435 congressional districts Tuesday.

On Election Day, The Washington Post and Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University polled voters in 69 competitive districts to see what they thought, how they felt and â€" ultimately â€" how they voted.

Voters in these districts cited President Trump and health care as two of the most factors in the midterm elections.

About this story

These are preliminary results from a Washington Post-Schar School poll of 1,994 voters in 69 battleground districts conducted on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 5-6. The survey is a final wave of interviews with respondents from a random sample of voters from state voter registration files in September and October. Respondents were contacted by mail and asked to complete surveys online or through an automated phone interview. Those who said they planned to vote early were contacted on Nov. 5 for the current survey, while those who planned to vote on Election Day were contacted Tuesday Nov. 6. Only respondents who reported voting were interviewed. Overall results among battleground district voters have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. The initial sample of registered voters is weighted to estimates of the population of registered voters in battleground districts; Election Day results are based on the subset of respondents who report actuall y voting and will be weighted to match the proportion voting for Democratic or Republican candidates as results become available. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by SSRS of Glen Mills, Pa. Icons by Tim Boelaars for The Washington Post and The Noun Project.
