RED ALERT FOR GOP? Democrats are opening a significant lead over Republicans in the latest national congressional ballot polling ahead of the November 3, 2026, US midterm elections.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll puts Democrats at 47% and Republicans at 35% among registered voters asked which party they would support if congressional elections were held today. The 12-point Democratic advantage is the widest recorded in the current election cycle, according to the report.

The poll also puts US President Donald Trump’s approval rating at 31%, its lowest level across his two presidential terms, with economic concerns and high gasoline prices weighing on public sentiment.

With control of Congress at stake, the numbers add to the political pressure on Republicans as candidates campaign across the country. Democrats are looking to capitalise on concerns about affordability and the administration’s performance, while Republicans face the challenge of defending their narrow majorities in Congress.

But can a national polling lead translate into victories in individual House and Senate races? The generic congressional ballot measures nationwide party preference; it does not predict the result in every constituency or guarantee which party will control Congress.
