The Democratic Party holds a significantly smaller edge over the Republican Party now than it did in 2018 when Democrats flipped the House of Representatives during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Democrats hold just a five-percentage-point lead over Republicans about a month and a half out from the 2026 midterm elections, according to a new NBC News poll that was released on Sunday. Democrats writ large are still more unpopular than Trump himself and the broader GOP despite voters’ belief that Trump’s policies have harmed the economy and pushed up prices.
Voters prefer Democrats by 50%-45%, seven percentage points lower than before the 2018 midterm elections this far out from them, the survey of registered voters says. It has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
Trump’s popularity has dropped consistently since he took office in January 2025, but declining confidence in his ability to govern increased dramatically in February after the conflict in Iran broke out. Subsequent intermittent attacks between the two countries have coincided with higher domestic gas prices due to disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Democrats hoping to retake the House and Senate in November have rallied around the Trump administration’s inability to confront persistent inflation, evoking concerns about “affordability” to appeal to an electorate for whom that topic is their first priority.
The 56% of voters who say they disapprove of Trump’s job performance parallels the 55% who say his policies have hurt the economy. At this point in 2018, 41% said his policies helped the economy, and 26% said they hurt it.
Trump largely ran on a platform focused on economic troubles in 2024, as former President Joe Biden’s four years in office were marked by record-setting inflation.

The stupid voters plan to bend over to the democrats again ?
I this a big tent. 🎪👯
Food voice 1: Hey it’s awfully hot in this frying pan!
Food voice 2: (looks over the edge) That’s because it’s sitting over the roaring fire below which is heating us and the pan!
Food voice 1: Did you say that fire is cool? Let’s jump in it! We’re burning up here.
Americans have ADD. They have forgotten everything that the Dems have done.
Should we vote for the people who want to hurt us, or vote for the people who don’t want to stop them?
Read the article!
This is good news. It’s a national poll, not by Congressional district an the lead is less than the last midterm in Trump’s first term.

The National Barack Channel poll? Consider the source of the poll.
Think about this abt NBC: Chelsea Clinton, not known for her high IQ, got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country
speaking out about white privilege.
Registered Voters = Garbage Poll
So they hold a lead that can be lost, or won in the rounding... It all depends on the corruption. Sad to say it... But the Republicans need to be more corrupt than the DumocRATs to win congress.
Start stuffing those ballots early and often, that’s the way to win.
I don’t doubt there is bad sentiment. Republicans have fumbled their momentum and the economy is not looking successful. And the adage about the economy is always true for those who are in charge.
If the economy will never get good again, which is a distinct possibility, regardless of the party in power, then all we’ll do is keep going back and forth.
It will back and fourth and the establishment is ok with that because they can be institutional.
NBC news poll. 😅
Well duh. GOPe idiots love being losers.
According to the polls, Hillary should have won in 2016.
I don’t trust media polls as far as I can spit. Their purpose is to gin up fake headlines & suppress R voting.
Today I heard the exact opposite.
