2026 Generic Ballot Polling
Do Voters Prefer Democrats or Republicans?
Generic Ballot polls ask voters across the country whether they would rather vote for a generic Democrat or Republican in the next election. This is a useful indicator that showcases which party is in the lead and whether the 2026 midterms will be a wave election, where one party can win sweeping victories in challenging states. After you are done here, be sure to explore the latest polls for Senate, Governor, and House races, and our predictions for the House and Senate.
