usnews.com —

Democratic candidates regained support among five key demographic groups in the 2026 midterms, reversing President Trump's 2024 gains, according to The AP Voter Poll of over 100,000 voters. Voters under 30 swung sharply left, with about 7 in 10 backing Democrats, while Hispanic, Black, moderate, and lower-income voters also shifted away from Republicans compared to 2024. These shifts aided Democratic Senate flips in Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and North Carolina, though young voters remained a small share of the electorate.
