A new survey reveals that independent voters are fleeing from the Democrats due to the economy and inflation, two weeks before the midterm elections.

Independents are 20 percent more concerned about the U.S. economy and gas prices in October than they were last month, according to a public tracking poll taken by Navigator, a liberal survey group.
