距离中期选举日仅剩两周多。选民们心中在盘算哪些数字？逐字稿主持人 斯科特·德特罗：本节目开篇先报几个数字。15——距离选举日还有15天。218比214——这是共和党目前在众议院拥有的优势席位数。46——库克政治报告认定在本次中期选举中具有竞争力的众议院席位有46个。主持人 华娜·萨默斯：4——民主党需要净增4个席位才能夺回参议院控制权。
Midterm election day is just over two weeks away. What are some numbers on the mind of voters? Transcript SCOTT DETROW, HOST: We begin this hour with some numbers. Fifteen - that is the number of days until Election Day. Two hundred eighteen to 214 - that is the current advantage Republicans hold in the House of Representatives. And 46 - that is how many House seats the Cook Political Report calls competitive in the midterm. JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Four is how many seats Democrats need to net to win back the Senate.
以下是萦绕在选民心头的其他一些数字。39%——这是认可特朗普总统工作表现的美国人比例。这是根据最新的NPR/PBS和马里斯特民调得出的。这一数字较他第二任期伊始的44%有所下降。
Here are some other figures on the minds of voters. Thirty-nine percent is the number of Americans who approve of President Trump's job performance. That's according to the latest NPR/ PBS and Marist poll. That's down from 44% when he started his second term.
德特罗：如果您想了解一下规模，那100亿美元如何？截至上周，2026年大选的支出已达100亿美元，这还仅仅是广告支出——电视、数字广播广告——不包括竞选办公室的披萨和甜甜圈等开销。
DETROW: And if you're seeking some scale, how about $10 billion? That is what has been spent on the 2026 elections as of last week, and that is just the money spent on ads - TV, digital radio - not including pizza and doughnuts for the field offices.
萨默斯：2美元98美分则是一笔小得多的数目。根据美国汽车协会（AAA）的价格追踪，近八个月前，一加仑汽油的平均价格是这个数。如今，加满一箱油要花多得多。普通汽油的平均价格已涨至每加仑4.30美元。
SUMMERS: Two dollars and 98 cents is a much smaller sum. That was the average price of a gallon of gas nearly eight months ago, according to AAA's price tracker. Today, a fill-up will cost a lot more. The average price of regular gas is up to $4.30 a gallon.
德特罗：在今年的选举中，有件事不少美国人倒是意见一致：数据中心——大家不喜欢。在我们的民调中，58%的选民表示，科技公司建设数据中心将对国家产生负面影响。
DETROW: And what's something that a number of Americans agree about this election year? Data centers - people don't like them. In our poll, 58% of voters say the construction of data centers by tech companies will have a negative impact on the country.
萨默斯：如果这些全是数字让您觉得眼花缭乱，那我们再留给您一个数字吧。下一次总统大选距离今天还有750天。
SUMMERS: And if this all feels like just a whole lot of numbers, well, we're going to leave you with one more. The next presidential election date is 750 days away.
