The numbers demonstrate the confusion among the American public regarding the nation's crises, even though Republicans seem to have a bigger chance of winning.

The latest data in Axios' midterms dashboard shows that Republican-favored topics are still below peak in the interest of the American public, even though signs point to a majority Republican win for the upcoming 2022 elections. 

With Election Day nearing on November 8, the issues for which the American public is showing concern are stabilizing, while firearm control and student loan forgiveness are showing new concerns.

However, issues such as inflation, gas costs, and immigration have not witnessed a peak in stats over the past week, although they remain of high interest. Crime, on the other hand, remained steady but fell from number 10 to 11 in the category of the most searched - student loan forgiveness got promoted to the No. 10 most-searched topic.

Millions of Americans took to the Biden administration's official online portal to enroll for relief mere days after the loan forgiveness program went into effect.

On the charts, Donald Trump ranked up to number 6 while Joe Biden ranked down to number 9. 

With the date approaching in less than two weeks, according to a poll jointly conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, two out of five US voters say they are concerned that individuals might threaten them or carry out acts of intimidation at polling stations during the US' upcoming November 8 midterm elections.

Although there haven't been any reports of voter intimidation so far, some fear that may be subjected to these acts, particularly in states where the divide between the two parties is rife following decades of deepening partisanship.

The midterm elections were initially assumed to be a foregone conclusion for Republicans, as President Joe Biden's approval ratings plunged in the face of increasing inflation, record migrant arrivals, and escalating violent crimes.

With less than a month to go, Democrats are betting on a much closer contest, thanks to a run of legislative successes, lower gas prices, and the nomination of a slate of Trumpist candidates who have been struggling in winnable seats.
