"One of the responses that voters might have is 'Throw the bums out.' And frankly, I think there's a concern too that maybe voters sit this one but that anxiety might turn the other way and we might see higher turnout than we typically would in a midterm election," Collins observed. The survey showed Americans are worried about the price of gas and energy. The price of gasoline in Arkansas is below the national average at $3.78 per gallon . Some counties with the most expensive gas are Montgomery, Boone and Newton. The poll found Americans have a negative outlook on national economic conditions, with just 21% saying things are excellent or good. Collins added gains in the stock market are not improving people’s everyday
