This article is an automated aggregation of coverage from news outlets. Our editorials offer in-depth analysis curated by the NewsCord team.
About a quarter of Americans dislike both major parties. Double haters prefer Democrats.
Double Haters Tilt Toward Democrats
A CNN/SSRS poll found 63 million Americans hold negative views of both major parties. This bloc leans 31 points in favor of Democrats in the upcoming midterms.
Just 28% hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party, with the GOP a few points higher at 32%. The group proved decisive in past elections, breaking in Trump's favor in 2016 and 2024.
Internal Democratic Divisions Over Priorities
The Democratic Party struggles to profit from its opposition role. A majority of Democratic voters don't think Congress has the right priorities.
House members have clashed with Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer. Internal conflict weakens the party in an election year.
Trump Approval Dips as Democrats Lead
Trump's approval rating is 35%, 7 points lower than in 2018. Polls show Democrats leading the generic ballot by around six points. Control of Congress could come down to how double haters respond.
