Democrats Gain Midterm Momentum as Voters Demand Change and Oppose Trump: CNN Poll

The advantage is driven by anti-Trump sentiment and cost-of-living concerns as Democrats lead among early voters and key voting blocs.

  • In a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, the Democratic Party holds a 49% to 39% advantage over Republicans nationally, marking the largest Democratic lead in CNN polling since just before the 2020 election.
  • Donald Trump's approval rating stands at a record low of 32%, as voters express broad dissatisfaction with the economy nearly two years into unified GOP control of the federal government.
  • Roughly 6 in 10 voters this year view their midterm ballot as a message about Trump, with opposition outnumbering support by a 2-to-1 margin among those sending that message.
  • Democrats command wide margins among traditional pillars of support, including Black voters who favor the party by 70 percentage points, and hold a steep advantage among those extremely motivated to vote.
  • More than three-quarters of voters see this election as their chance to change things in Washington, though roughly 65% of those unhappy with both parties doubt either can deliver meaningful reform.
