Congressional Generic Ballot Tightens to 3 Points Despite Trump Unpopularity Claims

What was said
"In March, Democrats were up by 6 points. Look at this now. Democrats are up by 3 points. And I want you to note the yellow lettering— no clear leader. It is within the margin of error. So despite all of the talk about Donald Trump's unpopularity, the fact is Republicans very much remain in the game when it comes to the congressional midterms."
CNN pollster Harry Enten reported Democrats' lead in the 2026 congressional generic ballot has shrunk from 6 points to 3 points, now within the margin of error. Combined with favorable Republican redistricting outcomes in states like Tennessee, Missouri, and Florida, this suggests the GOP could defy historical trends and retain the House in the midterms.
