Dems have a 25-point problem

August 18, 2026

New polling covered by CNN’s Harry Enten shows Democrats’ favorability has collapsed by a whopping 25 POINTS compared to this point in 2018.

Add in a more favorable map for House Republicans, a historic Republican fundraising advantage, stronger GOP candidates, and a Democrat Party being hijacked by unelectable radical socialists in must-win districts; it’s clear 2026 is not 2018.

Turns out handing your party to radical socialists has consequences. – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
