The 2026 midterms might not bring the Blue Wave that many on the left are hoping for — that is, if the results of one new poll are any indication.
A new Wall Street Journal poll published this weekend shows Americans believe Congressional Republicans are “best able” to address most major issues — from immigration to the economy — rather than Democrats.
The poll found Americans believe the GOP is the better-equipped part to handle border security by a whopping 28 point margin — 48% to 20%. Republicans had an 11 point advantage on immigration as well.
Those were the two dominant issues for Republicans — but respondents gave them the edge on a handful of other topics as well, including: the economy and inflation (both +6), tariffs (+2), foreign policy (+5) and the Russia-Ukraine War (+4). Democrats did have advantages on vaccine policy (+9) and healthcare (+15).

Zackly. It’ll come down to how effectively the ‘rats can cheat.
The GOPee has TDS and wants to lose [buncha loosers....].
Dems have 100x the enthusiasm. Hate & TDS is a big motivator.
The “Triumph of the Will”
It’s all they ever had.They cultivate it.
70% of GOP success in the mid-terms will come down to a good economy, and so far we’re there.
I’ve noticed a new strategy of grocers to roll back inflation-ravaged prices is to advertise “new lower price” on key items. I’m seeing this more and more. Or perpetual “sales.”
There are likely close to but 30 who are not political sluts.
Nonsense!

If Dems are smart they won’t say anything and hope people just vote for them because they don’t like Trump
If they actual state their platform (free money for illegals) they will lose
It worked for Mamdani — free sh!t.
I do not see how anyone can vote for the modern-day Democrat, unless you are a socialist. The JFK Democrats are long gone.
“Democrats did have advantages on vaccine policy (+9)”
We’re doomed. It feels like living in a world full of pod people.
If you trust democrats your another one keeping 3 card Monte’s in business.
The Art of the Steal.
The only way the rats won any election since 1948 was by cheating.
Don't forget how the rats intentionally and subversively tanked the economy in 2020.
I saw another poll in which dems were more motivated to vote than pubs by about 18%. If things get too good the pubs will not bother to show up while the dems will be all the more motivated to vote.
that’s the tide we’re swimming against.
Storming Churches should help. Sarcaism
