Democrats hold an early advantage over Republicans in voter preferences ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Monday.
The survey found that 50% of respondents said they would support the Democrat candidate if the general election for Congress were held today, compared with 39% who said they would back the Republican candidate in their district.
Another 11% said they did not know or did not answer.
This is clearly a push poll designed to get these sorts of results to dispirit the GOP. I do not believe this for a New York Minute.
Anything involving the New York Times is bogus.
I would add repeated polling shows that the public hates the Democrats worse than they hate the GOP if that is possible. So why do they plan to vote for them now?

New York Times: "All the News That's Fit to Fake, We Print." And if they didn't, their subscribers would cancel their subscriptions. So they entertain their pets.

Yes, they make stuff up. I no more believe this poll than I believe all the UFO stories now circulating.
