Border security is a “major concern” for voters in 85 battleground congressional districts, and they are significantly more confident that Republicans “are better able to handle the issue” than Democrats, according to a new survey.

“Voters also say Republicans in Congress are better able to deal with the issue of border security than their Democratic counterparts (49 percent GOP – 39 percent DEM),” said five pollsters surveying for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
