I said this about two weeks ago, and the answer seems to be that it was more of a flash in the pan. It appears that a few low quality polls, and outliers skewed it. This just goes to show that polling averages (even ours) may not be perfect.

Kind of ironically, one of the things people dislike the most about President Trump is when he renames stuff. 2/3rds of people say they disapprove of him renaming the Kennedy Center, according to @today.yougov.com

This chart shows two things: the shift between 20-24 President on the X axis, and the shift between 24 President and 25 Governor on the Y axis. Generally, the areas with the biggest shifts from 2020 to 2024 (To Trump) also had the biggest shifts from 2024 to 2025 (to Dems)

Here's the same chart, but with VA and NJ Governor instead. For the most part, VA saw even shifts throughout every area, while NJ saw bigger shifts among non-white areas, and smaller shifts among white areas.

Here's a comparison that shows the shift between 2024 President and Prop 50, and the White % of each 100K district in California... Pretty clear correlation that shows something that also happened in NJ and VA. Dems had huge gains with minorities in 2025, similar to 2020 levels.

Here is the party registration average in polls from @electioncord.com (note: this is not the actual generic ballot, which is around D+4).

This suggests that samples have not gotten much more Democratic than 2024, including after the 2025 elections.

Here's the Sacramento Metro area, using our Tabula America Index, found on ElectionCord.com. The main areas of note are the non-educated, white portions in the northern suburbs, which tend to be more Rep, and the less white south & eastern portions of the city, which tend to be more Dem.

How do people think the economy has been since Trump was inaugurated? In short: not good. It started out not good, and it hasn't gotten much better, with around 70% of people consistently saying the economy is poor. (1/2)

There have been two polls recently (Quinnipiac and Fox News) that have asked if Americans would like to see a ban on social media for kids under 16, like the one in Australia. Both polls showed that a strong majority, 61% and 64% respectively, would like to see a ban. What do you think about this?
December 18, 2025 at 8:50 PM
One of my pet peeves is when pollsters break down income like this, with $50,000 being the dividing number. The main issue is that only a quarter of Americans are under $50K household income, so it's not an accurate dividing line. You probably need more groups than this anyways!

Alexa, give me something Bluesky will like
Should be most of the vote in now for Kentucky's #SD35 (Harris+5) special election:

Gary Clemons (D)- 72.6%
Calvin Leach (R)- 25.1%
Wendy Higdon (Libertarian)- 2.3%

It's an over 40 point overperformance from 2024 for the Democrats!

I don't know what's funnier, that Clarity Campaign Labs asked about Santa Claus's favorability, or that a few people said they have an unfavorable opinion of him
December 16, 2025 at 7:03 PM
This is our Generic Ballot average by party registration. as of 12/15/25. One thing to note is that Democrats are winning independents by 13%, despite only being up around 4% as a whole. (Thread)

Really enjoy the people in the comments who don’t realize people in fact do switch their votes like what happened in 2024 and then in 2025 and that in a red leaning state you do in fact need to win over some Republicans
Texas Dems:

"Who'd be more successful in mobilizing Dem-leaning non-voting Texans to turn out for them?"

Crockett: 53%
Talarico: 34%

"Who'd be more successful in convincing Texans who regularly vote GOP to vote for them?"

Talarico: 58%
Crockett: 29%

This poll is pretty interesting, but also confirms certain assumptions we have had about candidates like Crockett and Talarico. Even if Talarico might be the more progressive candidate, he also is seen as the candidate with more crossover appeal to moderates and conservatives. (1/2)
Texas - Democratic Senate Polling Leads:

All: 🔵 Crockett +8

Men: 🟢 Talarico +10
Women: 🔵 Crockett: +21

18-34 Year Olds: 🟢 Talarico +29
35-44 Year Olds: 🟢 Talarico +9
55+ Year Olds: 🔵 Crockett +25

A nice figure by @gelliottmorris.com summarizing Trump approval by respondent issue priority. Trump is net positive on issues that only 19% of respondents rank as top priority (border, crime, immigration).

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Declines in Trump favorables for non-college Whites are arguably even more dangerous for GOP seats than nonwhites.

@electioncord.com averages have less-educated voters showing larger approval declines. Trump is getting a more gradual erosion w/Whites, but it's still erosion.

What can you conclude from this? I think generally, younger and poorer people tend to be more unsure of where their support will lie, while older and wealthier people will tend to be a more concrete voting block. Keep in mind not only is D vs R relevant, but voting vs not voting is just as relevant.
In the latest YouGov survey, they asked about how participants will vote in 2026. I thought it would be interesting to look at what percentage of each demographic chose something other than Dems/Reps. Thought the results were pretty interesting, especially that 18-29 number.
