Summary
A new Fox News survey found Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms with weak standing on core voter issues, prompting Brit Hume to say there was “not much good news” for the party.
Just 24% of voters rated the economy “excellent” or “good,” while 76% called it “fair” or “poor,” leaving Republicans underwater on the economy and affordability.
Democrats led Republicans by 9 points on which party voters trust more to handle the economy, and also held advantages on inflation, health care, foreign policy and income inequality.
On immigration, Republicans lost the 8-point advantage they held in April, with Democrats now holding a narrow 1-point lead — a further warning sign ahead of the midterms.
