林利·桑德斯、迈克·卡塔利尼 华盛顿 —— 无论即将到来的选举结果如何，一项新的美联社-诺克民调显示，两大主要政党的选民都希望下届国会将重点放在让生活更负担得起以及结束与伊朗的战争上，而较少选民希望国会将重点放在唐纳德·特朗普总统身上——无论是调查他还是支持他的议程。
LINLEY SANDERS, MIKE CATALINI WASHINGTON — Regardless of the outcome in the coming election , a new AP-NORC poll shows voters from both major political parties want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and ending the war in Iran , while fewer are looking for an emphasis on President Donald Trump — whether it’s investigating him or supporting his agenda.
结果表明，尽管特朗普在中期选举竞选中处于核心地位，但选民已准备好让国会解决核心问题。
The results suggest that voters are ready for Congress to tackle core issues, despite Trump’s centrality in the midterm campaign.
美联社-诺克公共事务研究中心的调查发现，约8成登记选民（包括大多数共和党人和民主党人）表示，降低生活成本应是即将到来的会期的最高优先事项之一。
About 8 in 10 registered voters, including a large majority of Republicans and Democrats, say lowering the cost of living should be one of the highest priorities for the session coming up, the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds.
来自密西西比州布鲁克黑文的31岁民主党人贾斯汀·坎贝尔表示，他希望政府专注于帮助像他这样的人，而不是富人。
Justin Campbell, a 31-year-old Democrat from Brookhaven, Mississippi, said he wants the government to focus on helping people like him rather than wealthy people.
“我不是百万富翁，大概也永远不会是，”他说。“我倾向于帮助我的政策，而不是帮助一个我永远不会成为的人。” 大多数选民也希望国会优先结束与伊朗的战争，约7成选民表示这应是重中之重。希望国会将调查特朗普政府作为高度优先事项的选民要少得多，约为4成；只有约2成选民希望国会优先支持这位共和党总统的议程。
“I’m not a millionaire and probably won’t ever be,” he said. “I prefer policy that helps me instead of someone I’ll never be.”Most voters also want Congress to prioritize ending the war with Iran, with roughly 7 in 10 saying this should be a top focus. Substantially fewer voters, about 4 in 10, want Congress to make investigating the Trump administration a high priority, and only about 2 in 10 want Congress to prioritize supporting the Republican president’s agenda .
但民调也显示，两党内部在关注重点上存在深刻分歧，温和派民主党人和共和党人与其党派左翼和右翼的选民分歧巨大。
But the poll also indicates that there are deep divisions within the parties on what to focus on, with moderate Democrats and Republicans differing sharply from voters on the left and right wings of their parties.
大多数自认是民主社会主义支持者的民主党选民希望国会调查特朗普政府，许多人希望终止对以色列的军事援助，而“让美国再次伟大”共和党人则有兴趣让国会支持特朗普的议程。
Most Democratic voters who identify as supporters of democratic socialism are hoping for a Congress that will investigate the Trump administration, and many want to end military aid to Israel , while MAGA Republicans are interested in Congress supporting Trump’s agenda.
两党的温和派同时也更倾向于希望民主党人和共和党人能找到共同点。
Moderates in both parties, meanwhile, are much likelier to want Democrats and Republicans to find common ground.
随着选民考虑下届国会的优先事项，降低生活成本和结束与伊朗的战争盖过了其他一系列议题。
Lowering the cost of living and ending the Iran war overshadow a wide range of other issues as voters consider priorities for the next Congress.
虽然大多数登记选民表示降低成本和结束战争应属于国会的最高优先事项之一，但只有约半数认为削减预算赤字和寻求两党共同点应属于高优先级。约4成选民希望将调查特朗普政府和通过新法律监管人工智能列为高优先级。
While most registered voters say reducing costs and ending the war should be among the highest priorities for Congress, only about half say reducing the budget deficit and finding common ground between the two parties should be high priorities. About 4 in 10 want investigating the Trump administration and passing new laws regulating artificial intelligence to be high priorities.
比例更低的是，约3成优先考虑终止对以色列的军事援助，仅约2成希望聚焦支持特朗普的议程。
Fewer, about 3 in 10, prioritize ending military aid to Israel, and only about 2 in 10 want a focus on supporting Trump’s agenda.
尽管大多数登记民主党人希望国会调查特朗普政府，但这落后于降低成本和结束与伊朗冲突这两大优先事项。约6成自认是民主党人的登记选民称调查特朗普政府是“最高优先事项之一”。密西西比州梅吉市的71岁民主党人亚瑟·布朗希望看到下届国会致力于增强经济实力、降低物价。他对追究特朗普责任的紧迫感较弱，主要因为特朗普任期只剩两年。他认为扭转经济更为重要。
Though most registered Democrats want Congress to investigate the Trump administration, that falls behind the larger priorities of lowering costs and ending the conflict with Iran. About 6 in 10 registered voters who identify as Democrats call investigations into the Trump administration “one of the highest priorities.”Arthur Brown, a 71-year-old Democrat in Magee, Mississippi, wants to see the next Congress work on making the economy stronger and prices lower. He feels less urgently about holding Trump accountable, mostly because there’ll be only two years left in Trump’s term. He thinks it’s more important to try to turn the economy around.
“他们应该专注于，你知道，试着解决这些问题，”他说。“最终，正义迟早会到来。” 对于共和党选民而言，支持特朗普的目标同样落后于降低生活成本、结束伊朗战争和削减预算赤字。
“They should just focus on, you know, trying to tackle these problems,” he said. “Eventually down the road, justice will come.”For Republican voters, bolstering Trump’s goals also falls behind lowering the cost of living, ending the war in Iran and reducing the budget deficit.
在对总统支持度出奇地冷淡的表现中，仅约4成共和党选民表示下届国会应将支持特朗普政府的议程列为最高优先事项之一。
In a strikingly tepid show of support for the president, only about 4 in 10 Republican voters say the next Congress should make supporting the Trump administration’s agenda one of its highest priorities.
众议院民主党人已开始规划一项雄心勃勃的“百日议程”，以备他们在11月赢得国会控制权后实施。来自纽约州的众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯表示，民主党的首要任务包括让生活更加负担得起，以及对特朗普政府进行大规模监督。
House Democrats have begun planning an ambitious 100-day agenda for what they would do if they win control of Congress in November. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York has said the Democratic Party’s top priorities include making life more affordable and conducting vast oversight of the Trump administration.
但如果民主党赢得执政多数，党内潜在的分歧正等待着他们。民主党在初选竞选中不得不面对一个日益壮大的民主社会主义派系。他们在某些问题上的进步立场分裂了该党——包括是否继续向以色列提供军事援助、是否与共和党妥协，以及如何大力调查特朗普政府。
But there are potential schisms in the party awaiting Democrats if they win a governing majority. The Democratic Party has reckoned in primary campaigns with a growing wing of democratic socialists. Their progressive stances on some issues have divided the party — including on whether to continue military aid to Israel, whether to compromise with Republicans and how strongly to investigate the Trump administration.
约四分之三自认是民主社会主义支持者的民主党选民表示，首要任务之一应当是调查特朗普政府，而自称非民主社会主义的民主党选民中，这一比例略低于一半。
About three-quarters of Democratic voters who identify as supporters of democratic socialism say one of the top priorities should be investigating the Trump administration, compared with slightly less than half of Democrats who say they’re not democratic socialists.
民主社会主义者也更倾向于希望国会终止对以色列的军事援助，且不太可能将寻求两党共同点列为首要任务。
Democratic socialists are also more likely to want Congress to end military aid to Israel and less likely to say it’s a top priority to find common ground between the two parties.
来自密西西比州的民主党人坎贝尔自认是民主社会主义者，希望国会追究特朗普政府的责任。
Campbell, the Democrat in Mississippi, identifies as a democratic socialist and wants Congress to hold the Trump administration accountable.
“光说推翻过去两年的做法似乎有点老套，但老实说，主要就是推翻他过去两年做的那些事，”坎贝尔说。
“It feels a little cliche to just say roll back the past two years, but honestly, mostly just roll back the stuff he’s done the past two years,” Campbell said.
共和党人在下届国会应做何事的问题上大体保持一致，无论他们是否认同“让美国再次伟大”运动——除了涉及特朗普的问题。
Republicans are broadly aligned on what they want the next Congress to do, regardless of whether they identify with the Make America Great Again movement — except when it comes to Trump.
至少一半的“让美国再次伟大”派共和党人和非“让美国再次伟大”派共和党人希望领导层降低成本、结束伊朗战争并削减联邦预算赤字。
At least half of MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans want leaders to lower costs, end the Iran war and reduce the federal budget deficit.
居住在加利福尼亚州莱克福雷斯特的74岁共和党人理查德·隆戈希望在下届国会看到总统的议程得到推进，但他特别担心平衡预算问题。“预算不可能在一年内平衡，但你必须有一个计划，”隆戈说。
Richard Longo, a 74-year-old Republican in Lake Forest, California, wants to see the president’s agenda pursued in the next Congress but is especially worried about balancing the budget. “You’re not going to balance the budget in one year, but you have to have a plan,” Longo said.
但尽管约60%的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）共和党人希望国会优先支持特朗普政府的议程，只有约20%的非MAGA支持者共和党人持相同看法。
But while about 6 in 10 MAGA Republicans want Congress to prioritize supporting the Trump administration’s agenda, only about 2 in 10 Republicans who are not supporters of MAGA say the same.
来自马萨诸塞州韦兰的46岁丽莎·奥斯特伦德自认为是MAGA支持者，她希望下届国会优先推进特朗普的议程。她并不支持特朗普所做的一切，但她将自己最近在经历数年无家可归挣扎后能够找到住房归功于他的政策。
Lisa Ostlund, a 46-year-old from Wayland, Massachusetts, who identifies as a MAGA supporter, wants to see the next Congress prioritize Trump’s agenda. She doesn’t support everything Trump does, but she credits his policies with her recent ability to find housing after struggling with homelessness for several years.
“你得关心你的美国人民，”奥斯特伦德说。“他肯定说得不漂亮，但你确实得把他们放在首位。” 这项美联社-NORC民意调查于10月8日至12日对1119名成年人进行，样本取自NORC基于概率的AmeriSpeak小组，旨在代表美国人口。针对全体成年人的抽样误差为正负3.9个百分点。
“You got to care about your American people,” Ostlund said. “He definitely doesn’t say it right, but you do have to put them first.”The AP-NORC poll of 1,119 adults was conducted Oct. 8-12 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for adults overall is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
