Poll shows anti-incumbency highest since ‘94

Voters’ current attitudes toward incumbents mirror those in two of the most recent sweeping election cycles, a new poll found Wednesday.

Just 32 percent of registered voters said they want to reelect their own member of Congress, while 57 percent said they are inclined to evaluate another candidate.

Those attitudes toward incumbents are the lowest since 1994, when Republicans won 54 seats in the House and eight in the Senate, giving them control of both chambers only two years into President Bill Clinton’s first term.
