Fresno Visalia, CA, October 22, 2026 —
A new AP-NORC poll indicates that voters in the Fresno-Visalia area want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and addressing issues in Iran, while placing less emphasis on President Donald Trump.
The summary of the poll does not provide percentages or specify how strongly voters favored either priority. It also does not describe the particular affordability concerns or Iran-related issues respondents had in mind. The findings, as provided, identify broad areas voters want Congress to address rather than specific proposals.
The poll summary says voters want the next Congress to give less emphasis to Trump. It does not explain what respondents meant by that preference or identify which other congressional responsibilities they considered. No comparison with earlier polling results is included, so the summary does not establish whether these views have changed over time.
Details about the poll’s field dates, sample size, question wording and margin of error were not provided. The available information also does not break down responses by party, age or other demographic groups. Those details would be needed to assess how widely the preferences are shared and how the questions were framed.
Based on the information available, the central finding is a stated preference among Fresno-Visalia-area voters for congressional attention to affordability and Iran, alongside less emphasis on Trump. The poll summary does not provide further detail about the reasons behind those priorities or how voters expect lawmakers to act on them.
