Financially-Squeezed Voters Made Jaw-Dropping 60-Point Swing Toward Democrats Since 2024

A NORC/Washington Post survey found that voters who said they were falling behind financially shifted sharply toward Democrats in the 2026 midterms. Sixty-four percent backed Democratic House candidates, compared with 33% for Republicans, reversing a group that had supported Donald Trump over Kamala Harris by more than 30 points in 2024. The survey questioned 90,000 voters; 29% said they were struggling financially.
