Among respondents who voted for a third candidate or who did not vote in the 2016 election, 46 percent said they would vote for a Democrat running for Congress in their districts. Twenty-one percent said they would vote for a Republican, and 33 percent said they were undecided.

The poll was conducted among 865 registered voters from Sept. 22 to 25 and has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.

The survey was conducted during the debate surrounding the Senate GOP’s latest bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

The bill, which would have dismantled much of ObamaCare and converted funding to block grants, collapsed on Tuesday as Senate Republicans decided not to vote on the last-ditch repeal attempt.
