What's in a name? One third of US voters UU Does not know candidates: Reuters / Ipsos survey







NEW YORK (Reuters) - Less than five weeks before the elections that will determine control of the US Congress. UU Over the next two years, about a third of registered voters do not know the name of the candidate in charge of their party, a Reuters / Ipsos opinion poll found.

The recognition of the name is essential to motivate voters, is the reason why candidates spend millions of dollars on television ads and is an important factor in the advantage of the incumbents to defend against the challengers. 

But it may be a little less critical on November 6, as many voters can see their elections as referendums on a man whose name will not appear on the ballot: Republican President Donald Trump. 

"With the current polarization of the party, voters are voting more and more depending on the party (read: I do not like Trump) instead of the local candidates," wrote Robert Erikson, professor of political science at Columbia University in the city. from New York, in an email.

The survey of 2,597 registered voters conducted between September 24 and 30 had an interval of credibility, a measure of precision, of 3 percentage points. 

The level of recognition of the name of the candidate for Congress is in line with recent elections, said Marc Hetherington, professor of political science at the University of North Carolina. 

"People do not vote on their own as much as they vote against the other side," said Hetherington. "It really does not matter what the names are these days." 

The interest of the generic parties is not benefiting the republicans at national level. 54 percent polling.reuters.com/#! response / CP3_2 / type / day / show / 9% 7CCP3_2 / dates / 20180301-20181002 / collapseed / true of American adults told Reuters / Ipsos that they disapprove of the way Trump is running the presidency and the Democrats have 9% polling.reuters.com/#! response / TM1212Y17 / type / day / filters / PD1: 1 / dates / 20180301-20181002 / contracted / true leadership in a generic question about which party they hope to vote in Congress. 

Democrats need to collect 23 seats here in the House of Representatives to win a majority that they could use to more effectively oppose Trump's agenda.  

Beyond party recognition and name, gender can play a role in the decisions of voters this year, said Michael Cornfield, associate professor of political management at George Washington University. The #MeToo movement and the protests surrounding Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have played in that trend. 

"In these cases, it's not just the name," Cornfield said in an email. "Gender relations can be the main issue."
