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.

    The thing I hate the most about government isn’t that it’s frustrating, but that it’s so goddamn predictable.

    It’s a game I know I can’t win, and it’s the same boring levels over and over again. And if I decide to quit playing I’m the bad guy.

    What a stupid world.
