EXCERPT:
American voters asppear to not be quite so keen on Democrats as the crucial midterms loom, according to a recent CNN poll.
The percentages show Democrats sliding as the days tick by and as Republicans are also gearing up for the 2026 midterm elections.
“The poll finds registered voters closely split in their partisan preference ahead of the midterms, with 45% saying they’d support a Democratic candidate for Congress, 42% a Republican candidate, and 14% neither,” the CNN article said. “Polling on congressional preference this year, including previous CNN surveys, has largely given Democrats the advantage. Voters who aren’t sold on either party’s economic message tend to prefer the Democrats on the generic ballot, the CNN survey finds.”
A Harvard Harris poll found Republicans had shifted into a better position as they prepared for the midterms, Breitbart News reported in March:
The poll asked respondents if the congressional election were held today would they be more likely to vote for a Democrat or a Republican for Congress, finding likely midterm voters split down the middle. The results mark an eight-point swing towards Republicans in the Harvard Harris poll since January when 54 percent of respondents replied they would be more likely to vote for Democrats with only 46 percent opting for Republicans,” the outlet said.
