"It [2026 Midterms]'s going to be dominated by what party is making you safe and prosperous. It's not going to be dominated by subsidies [Trump's presidential actions]. It's going to be dominated by the big stuff."

“A chunk of [GOP voters] who put them in power in 2024 are Trump-specific voters; they will vote GOP down ballot when Trump is running but won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running.”

"As we have seen, the president’s party almost always loses ground in the midterm election following his victory... [but] if Republicans are to have a serious chance of retaining control of the House, President Trump will have to improve his job approval significantly."

"If legal immigrants begin to be deported without having committed any crime [by Trump admin], get ready for Republicans to lose the [2026] midterms by a landslide."

“The President will help his Republican friends on Capitol Hill get reelected [in 2026 Midterms], and work to pick up new seats across the country.”

"President Trump is the main event for the party [2026 midterms]."

"Republicans have reason to worry that the president’s political decline will affect their performance in next year [2026]’s midterm elections."

“All these people that he [Trump] helps — he doesn’t help everybody — but for those he does, he’s a difference maker, and he’s certainly a turnout machine.”

"Whether congressional GOPers can turn things around for the ‘26 midterms is more dependent on Trump than ever."

“All of the kinds of things [Trump's] doing now will result in him losing—certainly losing the House of Representatives."

"The success or failure of the Grand Old Party (GOP) next year [2026 US Midterms] will be decided on the strength or weakness of President Trump’s coattails."

"What’s crazy is that the 2026 midterms are entirely in Trump’s control."

"If I had to bet today — and I tend to define bet as “regret later” — I’d put my chips on the Democrats."

"Donald Trump knows, his party knows, that they’re at risk of losing this election in 2026"

"A feasible path for the [Democratic] party to win the Senate is coming into focus."

"There is a 47.4% chance the Republican Party will control the US Senate in 2026."

"There is a 48% the Republican Party will win the US Senate in 2026."

"There is a 52% chance the Republican Party will control the Senate after the 2026 election."

"There is a 53.2% chance the Republicans will win a Senate Majority in 2026."

"Democrats face an uphill battle to capture the U.S. Senate in the November midterm elections."

"Republicans are favored to retain their majority in the Senate. "

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since his second term began, with only 33% of Americans approving his job performance, down from 35% earlier in August, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Monday.

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since his second term began, with only 33% of Americans approving his job performance, down from 35% earlier in August, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Monday.

The poll — which gathered responses from 1,166 American adults — found that the Iran war weighed heavily on Trump's popularity, with roughly 80% of respondents — including 87% of Democrats and 71% of Republicans — believing the conflict will be protracted, compared to 16% who expect it to end within weeks.

In addition, as few as one in five Americans, and only half of Republicans, said that the war with Iran had been worth it, after Trump recently claimed that paying "a tiny little bit more for your gasoline" was worth denying Iran a nuclear weapon.

Republicans, however, maintained a two-point lead over Democrats on immigration policy, 40% to 38%. Nevertheless, the result was the narrowest margin since Trump's return to office, down from a 26-point Republican advantage in January 2025.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll is the latest to report a landmark decline in the president's favorability, after an Economist/YouGov poll earlier in the month similarly found Trump's net approval rating to have fallen to 33%.

Trump's disapproval rating has hit an all-time high of 64%, and the reason is obvious — an unpopular war, $4-per-gallon gas and a $2.1 trillion deficit don't lie. Rather than addressing real affordability concerns, the GOP recycles Islamophobia and blames Biden nearly 600 days after he left office. The Trump show has run its course, and voters are done paying admission for nothing.

Democratic Wins Media

The polls showing Trump underwater are flat-out fabrications pushed by a dishonest media with an agenda. The real numbers reflect a record-breaking economy, historic foreign policy wins including the denuclearization of Iran and a secured border that Americans actually wanted. Dismissing these achievements as failures is exactly the kind of crooked spin that's lost the left all credibility.
