"One year after Donald Trump won his way back into the White House, voters are going back to the ballot box in a test of the president's popularity and whether Democrats are able to rebound from their catastrophic losses of 2024. With governor's mansions, mayoral offices, statehouses and mid-cycle redistricting on the line in closely watched contests from Trenton, New Jersey and Richmond, Virginia to New York City and beyond,"
"The party's favorability rating has plunged to historic lows, hitting 27% in one NBC News poll in March, the worst since tracking began in 1990, driven by frustration among Democrats themselves over the party's response to Trump's 2024 victory and perceptions that the party has lost touch with ordinary voters. But September polling from Gallup and October analysis by pollster G Elliott Morris shows a correction may be underway, and that Democrats are pulling ahead of Republicans on their handling of the economy"
One year after Donald Trump's return to the White House, voters are returning to the ballot box in contests testing presidential popularity and Democratic recovery after 2024. Governor's mansions, mayoral offices, statehouses and mid-cycle redistricting are at stake in Trenton, Richmond, New York City and elsewhere. Democratic favorability has fallen to historic lows, hitting 27% in an NBC News poll, driven by internal frustration and perceptions of disconnect with ordinary voters. Recent Gallup and G. Elliott Morris polling indicate a possible correction, with Democrats gaining ground on handling the economy. Election results will clarify party momentum and control of key offices.
