WASHINGTON — Exit poll results released Tuesday evening were ominous for Republicans — with about 70% of voters saying they want Congress to do more to check President Trump while about 60% blamed him for high prices.

The findings, released less than an hour before the first polls closed, showed that three-quarters of voters were “angry” or “dissatisfied” with the direction of the country and six in ten disapproved of Trump’s performance.
