A new survey released Oct 26 shows that the Democratic party trails Republicans by 31 percentage points among Jewish likely voters for the next midterm elections. The McLaughlin poll found that 64% of the respondents prefer the GOP on the 2026 generic congressional ballot, while 33% prefer the Democrats.
The generic ballot is a polling measure used to gauge preference for a party’s overall slate of candidates rather than individual politicians. The findings, which some political commentators described as a potential shift in a traditionally Democratic voting bloc, come from a pollster that one tracker noted as having a B- grade.
