With a little less than a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, a Marist Poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by a massive +14 points in the generic ballot.
“Democrats currently have a 14-point lead against the Republicans among registered voters nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot question,” writes Marist. “This has changed considerably. Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.”
This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”

The problem is that Trump is focused on long term improvements to the economy that are not providing relief. He is better than this and needs to narrow his strategies. Like now.

Democrats will always lead in the polls because of media bias, and they will continue to "win" at the ballot box until all mail in ballots are eliminated and all ballots are hand marked on paper and hand counted!

Never too early to start trying to influence the voters.

They did it again! It's not Marist, they left the X out of Marxist.

While Trump talks his head off and has no problem touting his own accomplishments, the rest of the Republicans need a better PR machine and learn to use the media to get their positive accomplishments out. Democrats are good at controlling the narrative. Untethered Republicans learn to do that, they will continue to lose in the polls and ballot box.

I'm sure Jessica Tarlov will be pleased. I'm starting to turn off The Five, particularly when Greg and Jesse aren't there.

Republicans don't consistently vote unlike the dimocrats who do, even the dead ones.

Either the poll is flawed and biased, which most of them are, or more democrats are rapidly sliding down the left side of the Bell Curve. It's far too early to know which is the case. By election time, most prices will sit at pre-Biden levels, oil drilling will produce for more than we need and Obamascare will be history.

Well, if the Dems win the House back in 2026 you can count on two things happening. Congress will be in total stagnation for at least two years. That's not such a bad thing. The second thing will be the impeachment of Donald Trump. Count on two shots and maybe a third if they have the time. Based on what? Ha! Nothing, as usual.

Trump could deliver the greatest SOTU speech in history and the media would report it as hate speech. Get used to it because this is just a taste of what's to come. If anyone thinks the Dems and sycophantic media have been sitting around twiddling their thumbs for the past year they are sadly mistaken.

And according to polls Harris was going to win. My liberal friend actually told me, two days before the election, "I think Trump might win." I replied, yes, he will, in a landslide."

This should NOT be Pooh Poohed as “Usual Left wing garbage”. A year ago Republicans were 8 points ahead. They have blown it. Primarily three reasons 1. Constant toxic left wing propaganda 2. The supply side effects of Trump’s policies has yet to be felt. It took 18 months under Reagan. 3. The ‘base’ is simply not as enthusiastic when Trump is not on the ballot. This is a messaging issue. And the Republicans HAVE to solve it. Otherwise we are doomed.

People pining for the return of demoslut rule have microscopic memories. Either that, or they are just incredibly stupid. The poll is useless and biased at this stage.

Notice how the corrupt left wing media has quickly moved on from the failed shut down? Now all the headlines are, "Trump is failing" MAGA is fractured, bla bla bla... Same old freaking corrupt left wing media. Seriously can we hate them anymore?

The average American voter is, at best, massively uninformed, and, at worst, just plain stupid.

Why does a poll a year out from an election even matter?
