GOP Closes Gap With Democrats in WaPo/Ipsos Midterm Poll
TL;DR Summary
The Washington Post–Ipsos poll shows Democrats holding a slim lead (48–45) among registered voters heading into the 2026 midterms, with Republicans narrowing the gap since May; among those absolutely certain to vote, Democrats lead 53–45, but Republicans face a turnout/enthusiasm gap. Voters cite the economy, immigration, and the Iran war as top concerns, and analysts note turnout and energy gaps could determine the House outcome, even as Trump’s actions on key issues could influence the race.
