This is our Generic Ballot average by party registration. as of 12/15/25. One thing to note is that Democrats are winning independents by 13%, despite only being up around 4% as a whole. (Thread)

Really enjoy the people in the comments who don’t realize people in fact do switch their votes like what happened in 2024 and then in 2025 and that in a red leaning state you do in fact need to win over some Republicans
Texas Dems:

"Who'd be more successful in mobilizing Dem-leaning non-voting Texans to turn out for them?"

Crockett: 53%
Talarico: 34%

"Who'd be more successful in convincing Texans who regularly vote GOP to vote for them?"

Talarico: 58%
Crockett: 29%

This poll is pretty interesting, but also confirms certain assumptions we have had about candidates like Crockett and Talarico. Even if Talarico might be the more progressive candidate, he also is seen as the candidate with more crossover appeal to moderates and conservatives. (1/2)
Texas - Democratic Senate Polling Leads:

All: 🔵 Crockett +8

Men: 🟢 Talarico +10
Women: 🔵 Crockett: +21

18-34 Year Olds: 🟢 Talarico +29
35-44 Year Olds: 🟢 Talarico +9
55+ Year Olds: 🔵 Crockett +25

A nice figure by @gelliottmorris.com summarizing Trump approval by respondent issue priority. Trump is net positive on issues that only 19% of respondents rank as top priority (border, crime, immigration).

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Declines in Trump favorables for non-college Whites are arguably even more dangerous for GOP seats than nonwhites.

@electioncord.com averages have less-educated voters showing larger approval declines. Trump is getting a more gradual erosion w/Whites, but it's still erosion.

What can you conclude from this? I think generally, younger and poorer people tend to be more unsure of where their support will lie, while older and wealthier people will tend to be a more concrete voting block. Keep in mind not only is D vs R relevant, but voting vs not voting is just as relevant.
In the latest YouGov survey, they asked about how participants will vote in 2026. I thought it would be interesting to look at what percentage of each demographic chose something other than Dems/Reps. Thought the results were pretty interesting, especially that 18-29 number.

Trump has seen a bit of an uptick in his approval in the last week or so, likely because no one is thinking about the government shutdown, and also not a lot of high quality polling in the last couple of weeks. Remains to be seen if this is something real, or a flash in the pan.

Here's each demographic in our Generic Ballot Average, found on our website, ElectionCord.com. Democrats are currently leading most demographics, with the only categories Republicans are doing well in are partisan ones, like Republican and Conservative.

Democrats have their next flip opportunity tomorrow night in Georgia's #HD121, a Trump+12 seat covering southern Athens and neighboring Oconee County.

It's a double-digit Trump seat, but the Democrats flipped a similar version of this district in the lead up to 2018 too.

A new poll out today by Yale Polling asked a pretty interesting question, about what Democrats' strategy should be in 2026. There's a pretty big age gap also, with younger people tending to agree more with the progressive answer, while older people tend to agree with the moderate answer.

Our Generic Ballot averages should be released tomorrow, but here's a sneak peek at the result by age, compared to Trump's approval. Of note is how much young people are still voting Democratic, and how Dems have a chance to win people 65 and over. (1/2)

I'm working on our generic ballot averages, and I noticed something interesting, independents are considerably more likely to either answer unsure or not voting when asked about how they will vote in 2026.

Dem Respondents: 93% Answer Dem or Rep
Indy: 60%
Rep: 92%

They've lost Rasmussen (honestly this is one of the biggest warning signs I've seen for Trump)
Trump Approval Polling:

Disapprove: 55%
Approve: 44%

Two thoughts with this poll shared by @purrtah.bsky.social:

- This could very well be setting up for a 2010-style midterm

- Whoever wins in 2028 is going to have A LOOTTT of work ahead of them

It's possible that in 2026 the GOP bombs with poorer/less-educated voters while holding up decently with rich ones.

In 2024, the richest voters were actually more likely to stay home and defect than middle-income voters, according to analysis from @electioncord.com.

Trump only won this seat by 13% in 2024. If Democrats can have a similar overperformance here as in TN-7, they would be within 1% or tied...
apparently Nancy Mace is considering an early retirement like MTG www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...
