Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Every day, the conversations get better," Jones told ABC News Saturday.To be certain, the district will still be largely influenced by the presidential race -- Lawler has to run ahead of Trump, while Jones has to keep every voter for Vice President Kamala Harris in the fold, and anything more than Trump's 10-point loss in 2020 could make the odds insurmountable for Republicans down ballot.
46% : ""I think at this point we really need to have a Democratic Congress, especially in the event that Trump wins the election, we need to have a counterbalance against him, and I think Mondaire Jones is going to do a better job of representing our district overall," added Elias Kahn, a Westchester County voter who works for a legal research company.
37% : Trump lost this district by 10 points in 2020, meaning Lawler needs notable enough separation from his party leader to remain viable and repeat what would likely be another narrow win.
32% : Lawler has said he'll support Trump and Johnson and voted against Democratic messaging bills that would do things like protect abortion access and entitlement programs, though he's also received praise from President Joe Biden and advised Trump to stop discussing 2020 election conspiracies.
