Democrats still poised to make gains, but poll shows warning signs for just how many

A new Marist poll indicates that Democrats currently hold significant electoral advantages and are favored to win control of the U.S. House. High disapproval of President Trump continues to rise across the political spectrum, yet Democrats face challenges from low enthusiasm among key groups and internal policy critiques. The poll also shows that structural factors like redistricting and shifts in voter behavior present potential limits to how many seats Democrats might flip. Overall, the data points to a potential Democratic gain but suggests the path may be narrower than historical precedents suggest.
