A large majority of voters also disapproved of how Congress and President Bush are doing their jobs. However, Bush fared slightly better on that score than members of the GOP-led Congress.
And defying the traditional political maxim that 'all politics is local,' 62 percent of voters said national issues mattered more than local issues when deciding which House candidate to pick.
