New podcast: I took a look ahead at the key midterm races w/ @loujacobson & @MichaelLeePope in partnership w/ @Center4Politics. open.spotify.com/episode/6ewâŚ
New @CookPolitical: 11 more House ratings move in Dems' direction, including five GOP seats from Likely R to Lean R. Full analysis by @ercovey: cookpolitical.com/analysis/hâŚ
Look forward to discussing @CookPoliticalâs midterm outlook on @cspanwj at 8am ET. Have a question about a competitive race? Be sure to call in.
A decent way to think about 2026: many of the places that have swung the most towards Republicans during the Trump era (Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, south TX, north country of NY) are the places we could see some of the biggest pro-Dem swings this year.

New @CookPolitical: with less than 40 days to go, the most critical voters are the "doubly disenchanted" - the ~17% of Trump disapprovers who aren't (yet) in the Dem column. The critical pain point for them? Energy/gas prices. My full analysis: cookpolitical.com/analysis/nâŚ

Voters competitive CDâs polled for @CookPolitical see election not just as a referendum on Trump (whoâs underwater by 16pts), but as a repudiation of the entire political system. Indies prefer candidate who will âreform entire systemâ vs serve as a âcheck on Trumpâby 39pts.

In recent era, midterm âwavesâ have been relegated to purple seats/states. Pushing into deep partisan territory is rare. This cycle the combo of tariffs, rural health care cuts, & diesel fuel gives Dems their first real chance to win back rural/farm state voters. But, if they come up short in this environment, hard to make the case that these seats/states can come back in play anytime in the near future.

New polling conducted of TX Hispanic voters for @CookPolitical and @Univision finds Trumpâs â24 coalition in shambles. Almost 1 in 5 Trump â24 voters now disapprove of POTUS. Talarico leads Paxton by 33. In Rio Grande Valley, Dems lead generic by 14.

Massive win for Dems, as SCOTUS blocks Missouri GOPâs 7R-1D gerrymander. #MO05 Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D) goes from doomed to safe, and Rep. Ann Wagnerâs (R) #MO02 now worth keeping an eye on too.

How will we know if 2026 is a wave election in the House? For @amyewalter, the real sign of a wave year wonât be how many seats Republicans lose, but rather the types of seats that change hands.

Before Dems get carried away celebrating the Missouri redistricting ruling, important to keep in mind SCOTUS/state courts would likely need to greenlight an entirely new election calendar w/ 60 days left before 11/3. No guarantees here.

The GOP challenge isnât that MAGA fans stay home; 2/3 of MAGA Râs in Fox poll said they were âextremely motivatedâ to vote. But, non-MAGA Râs excitement to vote was net 20 pts lower. Why? These are the Râs most unhappy w/ economy + Trump handling of it.
