> Americans are voting in record numbers before Tuesday’s midterms, which analysts say may signal dissatisfaction with Republicans and Donald Trump. Early voting was especially high in states with tight Senate races. Democrats accounted for 43% of early votes, compared with 31% for Republicans, and voters favored Democratic congressional candidates 52% to 44% in a poll.
