Trump’s Numbers COLLAPSE as 2026 Midterms Turn Into a Democratic WAVE...

The 2026 midterms are rapidly becoming a major test for President Trump and the Republican Party. Lisa Comooso Miller sits down with David Wasserman, senior editor and elections analyst at Cook Political Report, to break down the numbers shaping the fight for control of Congress—and Wasserman says the political environment has gone from “very bad to extremely bad” for Trump and Republicans. They examine Trump’s collapsing support among independents, why Democrats currently have a strong chance of reclaiming the House, and how the battle for the Senate could become far more competitive than Republicans expected. Wasserman also explains how Republican redistricting advantages could complicate a Democratic House takeover, why states including Iowa, Texas, Ohio and Alaska could become critical battlegrounds, and how inflation, healthcare costs, tariffs and the war in Iran are shaping voter sentiment. Plus, they discuss the limitations of modern polling, the growing influence of campaign polls and prediction markets, concerns surrounding the post-election certification process, and the surprising state-level issues that could reshape races across the country. With Election Day approaching, the biggest question may no longer be whether Republicans lose ground—but how large the Democratic wave could become. 2026 midterms, 2026 midterm elections, David Wasserman, Cook Political Report, Lisa Como Miller, Trump approval rating, Trump polling, Democrats 2026, Republicans 2026, House elections 2026, Senate elections 2026, Democratic wave, election predictions, midterm polling, Iowa Senate race, Texas Senate race, election analysis, political polling, Trump midterms, Congress 2026
