Heading into the 2026 midterm elections, there are some very big warning signs for Republicans in the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

The survey of 1,443 adults, conducted from Nov. 10-13 found:

  • Democrats holding their largest advantage, 14 points, since 2017 on the question of who respondents would vote for if the midterm elections were held today;

  • Trump’s approval rating is just 39%, his lowest since right after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol;

  • A combined 6-in-10 blame congressional Republicans or Trump for the government shutdown; and

  • Nearly 6-in-10 say Trump’s top priority should be lowering prices — and no other issue comes close.

    Democrats can’t govern. A snail with freeze frames like Moscow Mitch successfully and singlehandely skewed the Supreme Court for decades. Show me ANY democrat that can do that, and I’ll change my opinion.

    We need a left Moscow Mitch to unrig all the rigging. Until that point, the Dems are just Shit Lite™

    Consolation prize to have a OAC, Sanders and Mamdani party block, with the same kind of “grassroot” funding and organising that Kirk did for Toilet Paper USA.

    I swear to god, if you see the incompetence on both the Dem and GOP side of politics today, Moscow Mitch is almost single handedly a political chess grand master.

    The democratic party failed, when Obama failed to hold big money responsible and place the people first, and strategically outsmart Mitch.

    My money is still on a violent overthrow and adding a couple of amendments to the constitution. America is in it’s Second Civil War right now, and elections mean nothing in war time.
