- Economic hardship from inflation has intensified, with those reporting severe financial strain rising 8% since last year and 54% expecting the economy to worsen in the coming year. President Donald Trump's job approval remains near record lows.
- Voters favor Democrats on income inequality , healthcare , inflation , the economy , and foreign policy , while Republicans lead only on crime . In competitive counties, the Democratic candidate leads 59-41 percent.

- The 53% Democratic support marks the highest either party has achieved on the generic ballot since 1996, while Democrats have flipped immigration from an 8-point GOP advantage in April to a 1-point Democratic lead. This represents unprecedented momentum.
