NBC News poll finds 43% of US voters plan midterm vote to oppose President Donald Trump

A September 2026 NBC News poll found that 43% of registered voters view their midterm vote as a way to oppose President Donald Trump, the highest level in three decades. The poll also showed 55% believe Trump's policies have hurt the economy, and 57% are less likely to support candidates favoring the Middle East conflict. Trump's approval stands at 41%. Democrats lead the generic ballot by 5 points. In Texas, Republicans' redistricting based on 2024 Latino support may be at risk as polls indicate some Latino voters are shifting to Democrats.
