Starting to think it’s part of CNN’s social media strategy to keep doing this extraordinarily dumb take (“90% of people who tell us they like to eat apples also enjoy apple cider”) as a way to get the president’s attention and thus more clicks. Harry knows better

We have a new high poll for Dems AFAIK of D+16 on the generic ballot among likely voters. I think pollsters are playing kind of fast and loose with these filters to only use decided voters but still. Holy hell

Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 33% in our new Strength In Numbers/ @verasight.io poll just out this AM. POTUS's disapproval is 63%, for a net of -30. Democrats lead by 10 points among likely voters on the generic ballot Read more: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-09-23...

When one party releases a butt load of internals that tends to predict the national environment favors them. This year Democratic internal polls account for the largest share of internals on record — more than in 2018, 2006 and 2008

I appreciate Matthew Yglesias owning up to his worldview that calling out attacks on democracy is "resistance maximalism." A lot of people in the mainstream press aren't as honest about the institutional bias toward both-sidesing democracy for fear of alienating Republicans, but he just says it!

notice how these people who were formerly all-in on the mythical power of ideological moderation have changed their tack and entire organizational orientation after discovering the wisdom of the ancients that most voters are not ideological at all. now it’s all about “heterodoxy.”

NYT wants you to believe that 48 and 50 are outside of the margin of error with each other, but they are not. Good of Cohn to admit that this question is not very meaningful in terms of translating to outcomes, but then why treat the Q as if it means anything? www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-06-12...

We are approaching official Spooky Probability TM territory in the 50+1 House forecast. I guess this is what you get when the generic ballot is at D+7 two months out and the president has a 35% approval rating fiftyplusone.news/forecast/house

Have had a few requests to update the Trump approval graphics at www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data . Ask and you shall receive! (Our long-term plan is to adopt these with custom charts that live update at FiftyPlusOne.)

Here’s my report on the utility of “Trumpapalooza,” using polling data from over 11,000 interviews this year. Low-turnout Republicans are not die-hard Trump supporters sitting on the sidelines. He doesn’t understand this, and has scores a big own-goal www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-09-09...

Here is a screenshot from a new CNN/SSRS poll in Michigan. It shows that Democratic voters are 14 percentage points more likely than Republicans to say they are extremely/very motivated to vote in November, 87% vs 73%. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

GOP strategists live in an alternative reality (on Twitter/X) where Trump's approval rating among his 2024 voters is 100%. In our polling (and Pew's), it's closer to 75%. Just last week, Navigator came out showing 1/5 of 2024 Trump voters regret their vote for him! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/poll

New YouGov/Economist poll out this AM has Democrats up 11 points on the House vote among likely voters. This is with named candidates, not the usual "generic ballot," which in my testing with CES data is typically more accurate in forecasting outcomes d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

Missed this: Trump approval now solidly in the 35s, as the GOP launches its "Trumpapalooza" midterm convention in Dallas. What a stupid idea fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

Good article, just out, from the Times. Mentions the public as a thermostat + cyclical nature of party ID. (Stops short of saying the current environment was easy to predict, though that’s true & some of us did!). Covered this on the podcast on Thurs: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

This (from Tom Wood) suggests more than just the typical thermostatic backlash is happening right now. In sixteen months, Trump and Republicans have turned the GOP’s largest party ID advantage this century into a tie for its biggest deficit
