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.


Implying that democrats need help to fuck up this kind of advantage.
