Summary
Fox News’ Sept. 11-14 poll of 1,211 registered voters found Democrats ahead 51%-44% on the generic House ballot, with the margin widening to 54%-43% among voters certain to cast ballots.
63% said the Trump administration has made the economy worse, while roughly three-quarters rated economic conditions negatively and more than three times as many said they are falling behind financially as getting ahead.
Cost pressures drove that frustration: 62% called grocery prices a major problem, 61% said the same of gas, 54% housing and 52% healthcare; 64% also said tariffs hurt the U.S. economy.
Democrats led Republicans on inflation by 15 points and on foreign policy by 10, while independents backed the Democratic House candidate 53%-31% and voters in close counties favored Democrats 52%-43%.
Trump’s job approval stood at 39%, with 61% disapproving, underscoring a broader mood in which 68% expect life to worsen for the next generation and 68% are unhappy with how government is working.
