Recent Polling Shows Shift in Generic Ballot Support

Recent polling shows a narrowing gap in the generic ballot, with Democrats leading by 4.7 points as of July 21, down from 7.4 points in June. The 2026 midterm elections are expected to be less favorable for Democrats compared to 2018 due to reduced competitive seats and Republican gains from redistricting. Both parties face challenges, with Democrats struggling with favorability and funding.
