The latest news, analysis and election results for the 2014 midterm campaign. Interviews with more than five dozen voters from Maryland to Missouri revealed a weary electorate, and one with a shaky grip on the American ethos of a brighter future just around the corner.Many were angry with President Obama, whom they described as a failed leader. They said they had seen very little change and were fast losing hope. And even those who supported the president spoke of his unrealized potential — though they placed the blame with the world of partisan politics he inherited, saying he was doing the “best he can” (Springfield, Ill.) or “as good as can be expected” (Terre Haute, Ind.).
Their sentiments about Congress, with the midterm elections less than a month away, were unambiguous and harshly negative.WHEELING, W.Va. — Danny Swan, 27, stood in front of his Grow Ohio Valley farm stand — a white bucket brimming with freshly picked blueberries, and cardboard boxes stuffed with peppers, tomatoes and corn — and talked about how all the politicians in Washington were “play acting,” busy “putting on a show to entertain the rest of us, right next to People magazine on the newsstand.”What they don’t understand, Mr. Swan said, are communities like his, in the Ohio River Valley at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. What Makes You Vote, or Not Vote, in This Midterm Election? “I want to see our political leaders standing out here with us, finding out: Why is it that our tomato crop failed this year?” he said. “What can they do to help us next year? Why is it that the local print shop had to lay off 12 people this year?”But however disconnected voters feel from their government, their relationship with Washington is layered.
While many, like Mr. Swan, blame politicians for their economic station, they also seem to be yearning for the government to help.“I work six days a week, nine and a half hours a day, and I still struggle to pay my bills and make sure that my son has," said Janette Rideoutt, 38, who manages a clothing store here. “I don’t think they understand, because they have money, and when you have money, it just makes life a little bit more simple.”Out for a motorcycle ride in Terre Haute, Rick Poole, 56, said that as a truck driver in the oil fields of North Dakota, he felt lucky to have a stable job. But he added that Washington politicians were living in a bubble in which “they have no idea what it’s like to be out here and having to work for minimum wage of $8 or $9 an hour and try to raise a family.”“You can’t do that,” Mr. Poole said. “And if you’re going to have to work 60, 70, 80 hours a week just to keep your head above water, what kind of life is that?” INDIANAPOLIS — Diana Warren knows that, as she put it, “9/11 was brought to us.”
But now, 13 years after the World Trade Center fell, she worries that Mr. Obama is “too busy with foreign things and foreign policies.” “I know some of them foreign countries need help, but I can’t see sending billions of dollars over there when they’re cutting off people’s unemployment here,” said Ms. Warren, 50, a waitress from St. Clairsville, Ohio.Such sentiments popped up repeatedly along the National Road, which predated the construction of the Interstate System. The overarching view: “Get home down, and then you can worry about everything else,” said Weldon Clark, a 19-year-old sophomore at Indiana State University.The appeal was echoed from east to west. An Ohio police officer passing through Maryland on a motorcycle worried that the money and troops the president had sent to the Middle East were not “making us any safer.” And a St. Louis woman out for an after-dinner stroll said it was time to accept that “the days of the United States as a superpower are over.”
But for those who would like to see the United States play a larger role abroad — to see Mr. Obama take on a more muscular stance as commander in chief — the frustration is no less intense. Heather Lopez, a church worker in Terre Haute, Ind., echoed many voters who argued that Mr. Obama was not a strong leader, saying, “He talks like he’s neutered.”So, what would Ms. Lopez like to see happen?“Instead of being a country that’s leading from behind, I would like to see us spearhead an all-out assault on ISIS,” she said, referring to the Islamic State, the Sunni militant group that controls large portions of Iraq and Syria and has claimed responsibility for the beheadings of two American journalists. “I would like to see every one of them dead within 30 days. And after we’ve killed every member of ISIS, kill their pet goat.” COLUMBUS, Ohio — Six years into Mr. Obama’s presidency, the litany of complaints against him runs deep.From a retired woman in downtown Columbus: “Lousy.
He’s just not there.”From an optometrist taking a break at a Dairy Queen in Terre Haute: “Terrible. He’s basically enabling socialism.” And from Ms. Lopez, the church worker, who said she got much of her information from Fox News: “I think a monkey could do better. Daffy Duck could do better. And your average housewife without a high school education could do better.” But conversations with voters revealed another, perhaps quieter, group of Americans: those who voted for Mr. Obama and still want him to succeed, even as they resign themselves to a more narrow definition of success.While his opponents criticize both what they see as his lack of leadership and his use of executive actions to circumvent Congress (“King Obama,” one joked), the president’s supporters argue just the opposite: that Mr. Obama is but a mortal, with real limits (partisan rancor, world events, bitter opposition) on what he can do.“I think he wants to improve things, but he’s the president,” not a wizard, said Derrick Terrell, 55, in Columbus.
“He can’t wave his magic wand and have all our troubles go away.”Amish Oza, 36, a doctor in Columbus, said he was eager to see how Mr. Obama’s health care law played out. The president, he said, deserved more credit for putting the law in place.Others, too, were willing to give Mr. Obama the benefit of the doubt. Denise Schantz, striding through downtown Springfield, Ill., on her lunch break, pointed to the improving stock market and the recovering housing market in her area. “I think President Obama is doing a great job,” Ms. Schantz, 60, said with unabashed glee. “He inherited a big mess,” she said, “and he’s trying to clear it up the best he can.”SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — While Mr. Obama rarely speaks of it, the effects of race, real or imagined, on his presidency are on the minds of both black and white voters, who repeatedly brought up the issue as an explanation for why he has faced such opposition. Standing just blocks from the Illinois Capitol, where Mr. Obama got his political start, Denise Carter, 52, a restaurant hostess, pointed to her own brown skin to illustrate what she believed to be at the root of the president’s problems.“
A lot of people do not like taking command from a black man,” Ms. Carter said. “That’s all there is to it.”She cited Mr. Obama’s methodical, “don’t do stupid stuff” approach to foreign policy as an example. “If there was, for instance, a Caucasian man or anybody else,” she said, “they wouldn’t have none of the problems that he’s having, just because of the color of his skin.” Mark Vidor, 63, a retired social worker who now passes his time as a street accordionist in Towson, Md., also said he believed there was “an underlying racial aspect” to the way Mr. Obama had been received.Ms. Carter said that as much as the country pretended to be colorblind, race remained a significant “stumbling block” for the president.“Walk a mile in our shoes, which you can’t,” she said. “So there he is.”ST. LOUIS — If there is one thing voters agree on, it is how much they disagree with almost everything Congress is doing. Their anger is visceral, expressed in rolled eyes and exasperated rants when asked how they feel Congress is doing its job.“
