A Look to the 2026 Midterms, November 2025 Democrats with Double-Digit Lead on 2026 Generic Ballot

[Historic NY]

A majority of registered voters nationally (55%) say they would support the Democratic candidate for Congress in their district, if the 2026 congressional elections were held today. 41% would support the Republican, and 3% would back another candidate. Among independents, the Democrats (61%) have a +33-point advantage over the Republicans (28%).

This is the first time in more than three years that Democrats have had a notable advantage on the congressional generic ballot question. When last asked in November of 2024, registered voters divided, 48% to 48%. The last time the Democrats had a noteworthy advantage on this question was in June of 2022 when the Democrats were +7 among registered voters.

2. We had better treat this like a boulder we are pushing up the side of a steep hill.

We’re halfway up, and we have some momentum, but if we let up, we lose the momentum, and the boulder will start to roll back downhill, maybe crushing some of us as it goes. This will be a long fight—winnable, but only if we don’t let up.
