Professor Emeritus of Political Science Stephen Farnsworth was quoted in a Newsweek article titled "Republicans Hit by Major Midterm Polling Blows Within 24 Hours." In the article, Farnsworth discusses recent polling trends and the challenges facing Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. He notes that President Trump's unpopularity and concerns about high prices are creating "colossal problems” for Republicans. Many voters view him as “increasingly out of touch with their daily concerns” due to his focus on immigration and the Ian war. “Presidents usually face tough midterm elections, but this cycle looks particularly tough for the president’s party,” he said. Read the article in Newsweek.   Other media mentions for Farnsworth include:
