Elliott Morris wrote that same day that the actual survey numbers paint a very different picture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTurning to the midterms, the Democrats lead Republicans on the House congressional ballot by a margin of 7 points, 50 percent to 43 percent among registered voters,\u201d Morris explained. \u201cThat is within the margin of error of our poll\u2019s reading of an 8-point margin for the party in May. Among all U.S. adults, the lead is D+6 (48 percent to 42 percent). 7 percent of registered voters say they don\u2019t know who they would vote for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cDemocrats have led the generic ballot in every single Strength In Numbers\/Verasight poll since we began fielding in May 2025. Across 13 monthly polls (we skipped December 2025), Democrats have never trailed, with margins ranging from +5 to +10 points among registered voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris noted some good news for Trump, namely that his poll numbers regarding rising prices have stopped falling. Yet that does not compensate for other issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur poll finds Donald Trump\u2019s overall approval rating among U.S. adults stable at 37 percent this month, with 60 percent of Americans disapproving of how he\u2019s handling his job as president,\u201d Morris explained. Despite the fact that he is no longer falling, he is still struggling overall because \u201cin raw percentage terms, just 25 percent of Americans approve of how he\u2019s handling prices, while 71 percent disapprove and 54 percent disapprove strongly. That is a tough number to post on the issue people say is the most important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=2211\">\u2018Deranged\u2019 Trump forgetting names of vital GOP lawmakers: conservative<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other issues do not help the president, who has been struggling with falling poll numbers for months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is underwater on 11 of the 12 issues we tested,\u201d Morris said. \u201cHis health care rating fell to -32 (from -28 in May), and on government funding and social programs, he has slipped to -25. He\u2019s stuck in the low-to-mid 20s nearly everywhere else \u2014 including -25 on jobs and the economy, -23 on trade, -22 on foreign policy, -21 on elections and democracy, and -20 on education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump is still in positive territory on border security at a net rating of +2 (48 percent approve, 46 percent disapprove),\u201d Morris explained. \u201cYet he is still negative on related issues, including immigration at -12, crime and public safety (-10), and deportations (-10). It is a simple truth but worth repeating: this is not the political environment the president entered office with a short 15 months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s floundering approval ratings, when combined with Democrats\u2019 growing anger toward the president, points to an enthusiasm gap that could have profound ramifications for Trump during the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[D]emocrats are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about voting for non-Republican candidates this November and we have seen this not once, not twice, not in an outlier way, but in a consistent way,\u201d Puck News&#8217; John Heilemann told MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace on Wednesday. \u201cDemocrats are showing up and they&#8217;re showing up in large numbers by the standards of off-year elections and the standards of special elections, and they&#8217;re not just exceeding [Trump\u2019s margins from 2024] but blowing them out of the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=2209\">MAGA candidate hatches kooky plot to deport ex-president: report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump is dragging down his fellow Republicans and heightening their risk of losing control of the Senate, the House of Representatives and\/or both in the upcoming midterm elections.Despite the president claiming on Wednesday that his poll numbers \u201care the highest they have ever been&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
