High-Ranking Democrat Announces Retirement

A recent poll from the Napolitan News Service, conducted online by Scott Rasmussen with fieldwork by RMG Research, Inc., found Republicans leading Democrats by four percentage points on the generic congressional ballot.

The survey focused primarily on voter preferences ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“If the election were held today, would you vote for the Republican from your district or the Democrat from your district?” respondents were asked.

The poll also examined voter enthusiasm, policy priorities and demographic factors that may influence turnout, though full cross-tabulated results were not publicly released.

Among registered voters surveyed, 45 percent said they would support the Republican candidate in their district, while 41 percent said they would vote for the Democratic candidate, giving Republicans a four-point advantage.
