The New York Times/Siena Collegereleased Monday found that 49% of likely voters indicated they would vote for a GOP congressional candidate compared to 45% who planned on pulling the lever for a Democrat — a three-point lead when adjusted for mathematical rounding.

Undecided female voters had swung to the right as economic concerns overrode worries about abortion bans, the poll found.The shift was most pronounced among undecided women, who supported Democratic candidates by a 14-point margin last month but were now backing Republicans with an 18-point margin. The 44% of likely voters that said the economy was the most important issue in the elections planned to vote for GOP candidates by a two-to-one margin.

The economy and inflation were by far the biggest issues for potential voters, according to the poll.“I’m shifting more towards Republican because I feel like they’re more geared towards business.”
