US midterm election voter sentiment trends

Overview

Recent polling indicates a shift in voter sentiment ahead of the November midterm elections in the United States. An August Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Democrats holding an eight-point lead over Republicans regarding the best approach to the cost of living, marking the largest advantage for the party on this issue since October 2025.

By mid-September, a Quinnipiac University poll reported that the Democratic Party held an 11-point advantage regarding control of the U.S. House of Representatives, with 49% of voters favoring Democratic control compared to 38% for Republicans. This gap represents a widening of the lead seen in July. Despite these shifts in party preference, approval ratings for both parties in Congress remain low.
