Summary:

Americans broadly disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president and favor Democratic U.S. House candidates for the 2026 midterms by 8 points, a new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds. The president is underwater on 10 out of 11 issues we tested with voters.

In a survey experiment, Democratic messaging on the economy does not outperform messaging on immigration. And: The Abundance Agenda as formulated by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson is broadly popular, except for local zoning reforms.
