Survey Says is a weekly series rounding up the most important polling trends or data points you need to know about, plus a vibe check on a trend that’s driving politics or culture.

Democratic socialist versus MAGA Republican—it’s a war of two extremes equally likely to turn off voters, right?

Not remotely, the data suggests. And that may have big implications this year.

The latest YouGov/Economist poll ran an experiment that asked voters to pick between pairs of hypothetical candidates. When asked to choose between a “Democratic socialist who supports Medicare for All, ending military aid to Israel, and abolishing ICE” and a “MAGA Republican who supports mass deportations and always votes with Trump,” 51% of registered voters went for the socialist, while only 34% picked the MAGA Republican. The remaining 15% were unsure.

Notably, this figure did not change much when the hypothetical socialist candidate was swapped for a “Liberal Democrat who wants to protect Obamacare (ACA), increase support for child care and housing, and opposes tariffs.” Fifty-five percent backed the liberal Democrat, and an identical 34% supported the MAGA Republican.

DENVER — The office of Colorado’s attorney general is a perch 10 stories above downtown Denver. From his aerie, Phil Weiser has a sweeping view of the city skyline, the gold-domed Capitol and, occasionally, a red hawk on the wing.

But looking toward November, Weiser sees something darker.

Federal agents swarming polling places. Voters intimidated or blocked from casting their ballots. A tyrannical president using his powers, real and imagined, to undermine or try to overturn the Nov. 3 election.

“With this administration what we have seen is it’s important that we not limit our imagination to what … type of harm could happen,” Weiser said during a sunny noon hour in the Mile High City.

For that reason, Colorado’s attorney general and his Democratic peers around the country have spent more than a year strategizing — by phone, via Zoom, sometimes in person — on ways to Trump-proof the midterm election.

They’ve researched history and the law, war-gamed what-ifs, divvied up responsibilities and drafted emergency lawsuits and temporary restraining orders so they can be hurried into court at a moment’s notice.

Establishment Democrats are desperate to put a whole bunch of daylight between their party and Hasan Piker, the far-left Twitch streamer who has become a major headache with the midterms just weeks away.

“Let me just say that I think it’s absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hasan Piker has said,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said last week. “But he does not represent the Democratic Party, and he certainly doesn’t represent the viewpoints of almost every one of our candidates and our elected officials.”

That’s debatable. Still, it’s kind of funny that even while condemning Piker, Martin couldn’t bring himself to vouch for the whole party.

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) ran out of patience even sooner. Back in August, she was furious when a reporter asked her about Piker yet again.

“I am done, so don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker,” Dingell said. “It’s not what November is about. Republicans are trying to make it. They’re trying to divide us, and we got to stop letting them try to divide us. I don’t agree with Hasan Piker on a lot of stuff, and I really don’t agree with him on some of the woman things he said. And I’m still trying to figure out, is it the reason he exercises and looks buff is why he has so many followers.”

House Democrats are preparing an expansive slate of investigations targeting President Donald Trump, his family and his administration if they capture the House majority in November, with impeachment remaining among the tools they could pursue.

Democratic lawmakers are already laying the groundwork for investigations across several committees, focusing on issues ranging from Trump family business dealings and immigration enforcement to foreign policy and administration projects.

“There is a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said.

“If folks have been stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people,” Jeffries added, “we are going to hold the crooks accountable.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who could become Judiciary Committee chairman under a Democratic majority, described the potential scope of investigations as “gargantuan.”

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson was kicked out of his own Facebook group after being “patronizing” to supporters. Jackson is now no longer a member of the “Mainers for Troy Jackson” group.

The incident unfolded after members began complaining about canceled campaign events. An account with Jackson’s name responded to the complaints by writing, “So sad,” before adding, “We have one in Belfast this weekend.”

The responses immediately prompted backlash from his followers, who accused him of being “patronizing” and “insulting.” His account was then removed from the group, and some members questioned if the account was even him.

“This cannot be Troy speaking,” one resident wrote. “He would not speak so insultingly and patronizingly to regular people let alone supporters.”

“This is horrifying,” said another user who had a profile picture of herself with Jackson.

When Nick Freitas walks down a city street in the opening scene of his new documentary, recounting his days as a Green Beret, most viewers might think he’s somewhere in the Muslim world. I certainly did.

He’s in Britain. And the transformation he documents there, driven by decades of mass Muslim migration and a political class unwilling to demand assimilation, is one Americans ignore at their peril.

Freitas, a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates, joined me on “Midterm Report” to discuss “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West,” a film he made with The Heritage Foundation and The Blaze. It features Heritage experts Mike Gonzalez, Nile Gardiner, and Lora Ries.

Asked how a nation is demoralized and destabilized, Freitas has a simple answer.

“In the simplest terms, you give it an identity crisis,” he told me. “And I think we’re suffering that in the West in general, and we’re starting to see it become a significant problem in the United States.”

The Democrats’ Islamist communist candidate for Senate in swing state Michigan earlier this week snidely criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to take away White House passes from leftist propaganda outlets — MS Now, CNN, and Politico.

“May I just say, it’s nice to see MSNow and CNN covering the news,” Abdul El-Sayed, the Eddie Haskell of Muslim politicians, told reporters during a campaign stop with the Democratic Party’s failed replacement presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. “That’s what you do, it’s great.”

“You are welcome here anytime to cover news. I’m grateful that you do that. I mean, there are certain people who occupy certain offices that are too cowardly to take your questions,” the smarmy public health bureaucrat and failed former candidate for governor added in a not-so-subtle jab at the president.

He was more direct in another exchange with the media, asserting that “Trump hates the idea of democracy.”

“That’s why he denies elections and is interfering with the freedom of the press,” El-Sayed told Deadline Detroit.

That’s an interesting criticism from a guy who reportedly once urged the Muslim Brotherhood to “purge” news outlets and law enforcement in Egypt. The Trump administration has designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

EXCERPT:

The Trump administration released a “comprehensive” plan on Thursday that U.S. election officials can use to safeguard the integrity of the voting process during the upcoming midterms, The Federalist has learned.

“Election security is national security,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. “This plan, which will be implemented in full, is crucial to the security, freeness, and fairness of choosing the leaders of our country. Making America safe again isn’t just done at the border, in our streets, and on the coast — it’s also done in protecting the integrity of American elections.”

Obtained by The Federalist, the 2026 Election Infrastructure Security Plan includes numerous tools and services that election officials can use to protect election infrastructure from physical and cyber threats in the midterms. The extensive report was produced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which falls under DHS.

The 13-page document begins by providing a comprehensive overview of existing election infrastructure (voting and processing facilities, voting hardware, etc.) and the core technological components (voter registration systems, tabulation systems, etc.) that define a typical election process. It also includes an analysis of potential cyber and physical threats to this infrastructure that officials may encounter during the 2026 contest, such as attempted cyber hacks of state voter registration databases and bomb threats directed at election offices.

The report provides guidance on how best to confront these prospective issues. For instance, to mitigate potential cyber vulnerabilities, the plan advises election officials to consider using paper ballots “that can be easily reviewed to ensure transparency, auditability, and resilience against software failures or manipulation,” and to “[c]onduct post-election manual audits of paper ballots to verify that voting systems function properly and to identify errors before certifying the final results.”

EXCERPT:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused Republicans of “cheating” by removing non-citizens and other ineligible names from voter rolls.

The twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate made the claims as she continues a nationwide media blitz, fueling expectations of another campaign in 2028.

Harris was elevated to the top of the 2024 Democratic Party ticket without receiving a single presidential primary vote.

Harris was coronated after former President Joe Biden’s mental decline became impossible for party leaders to conceal.

Her campaign then burned through roughly $1 billion in a matter of weeks before losing the election to President Donald Trump.

Now, after a string of speeches, interviews, and public appearances, Harris appears to be laying the groundwork for another White House run.

This time, her agenda involves attacking Trump’s election integrity agenda.

One in Three Democrats Admit to Wanting to Kill Trump

pgnewser September 23, 2026 0

Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

One Third Of Democrats Support Trump Being Assassinated– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Roughly one third of Democrats would like to see President Donald Trump assassinated at a rally, according to a new poll.

A poll conducted by the Center for Strategic Politics found “Democrats want Trump out by (almost) any means necessary” — including assassination.

Respondents were asked how they would feel if they woke up to several hypothetical headlines. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they would feel “very positive” if they saw a headline that said “President Donald Trump was assassinated while speaking at a rally.” Eight percent said they’d feel “somewhat positive” if they saw the news, while 25 percent said they had neither a positive nor negative reaction. Just 43 percent of respondents said they’d feel some degree of negativity if they saw the same news.

Democrats felt positively toward seeing a headline that read “President Donald Trump died overnight in his sleep,” with 45 percent of respondents saying they would feel “very positive” after reading the news and 10 percent feeling “somewhat positive.”

Democrats were also in favor of seeing Trump removed from office via impeachment, a military coup, or the 25th Amendment. The poll was conducted on Sept. 3 and Sept. 8-10 and surveyed 683 Democrat voters.

Perhaps then it’s unsurprising that Trump has been the target of several attempted assassinations with so much of the opposing party desensitized to (and even a fan of) political violence. What should have been a watershed moment more than two years ago when the president was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has only served to mark the first of many serious close calls on the president’s life.

After narrowly avoiding death on July 13, 2024, would-be assassin Ryan Routh hid in the bushes of Trump’s Florida golf course weeks later with a rifle. Austin Tucker Martin was killed this past February by agents after he breached the security permitter of Mar-a-Lago while armed with a shotgun and a gasoline can and refused commands to drop his weapons. In April, Cole Tomas Allen was arrested for attempting to assassinate Trump and his entire cabinet during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A few weeks later, Nasire Best was killed outside the White House after he opened fire near a security checkpoint.

GOP Gets Back Missouri Seat After Court Ruling

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the Missouri 2026 Midterm election should follow the same map in place for the primaries. That map is the GOP-altered one that eliminates one Democrat House Seat stronghold. The court stated, “This Court holds that Missouri’s current plan to use the 2022 map in the November 2026 general election violates the Constitution. Only use of the 2025 map complies with the Constitution and federal law.”

EXCERPT:

Missouri’s chaotic redistricting battle is finally over — or so America thought.

A three-judge panel for the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the Show Me State must use its 2025 congressional map in the upcoming midterm elections. The new map would take Missouri from a six Republican-two Democrat map (enacted in 2022) to a seven Republican-one Democrat map.

“This Court holds that Missouri’s current plan to use the 2022 map in the November 2026 general election violates the Constitution. Only use of the 2025 map complies with the Constitution and federal law,” the court held.

The panel was comprised of Judge James Loken, a Bush 41 appointee, and Judges David Stras and Justin Smith, both Trump appointees.

The entire kerfuffle began earlier this month, when the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the state must use its 2022 map for the midterms and to include a statewide referendum on the 2025 map on Missouri’s 2026 fall ballot. The left-wing People Not Politicians‘ efforts to get the referendum placed on the ballot were initially rejected by Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins.

Missouri-based Chief District Judge Stephen Clark, a Trump appointee, issued a temporary restraining order days later in a federal challenge brought by several congressional candidates, mandating the Show Me State to use the 2025 map for the midterms. That ruling came moments after U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected an emergency request by Missouri officials to pause the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision.

SCOTUS ultimately froze Clark’s TRO without explanation the following day. The high court said that the lower court’s order is paused “pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court, if such a writ is timely sought.”

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Jewish Democrat, put it plainly last month ahead of the MDP’s nominating convention:

Republican Congressional candidate Joe Arminio was booted from a debate in Delaware on Thursday night for an incredibly based reason.

He kept referring to “transgender” Rep. Tim McBride (who now goes by Sarah) as a man.

Libs of TikTok explained:

Throughout the debate, Arminio called McBride a “gentleman” and used (shocker!) male pronouns.

This ultimately led to Arminio being removed from the stage.

NBC Philadelphia detailed what went down:

On Thursday night, during a candidates forum presented by the Jewish Federation of Delaware, Republican Joseph Arminio was removed from the event after he repeatedly misgendered Democratic Delaware Congresswoman Sarah McBride.

“I’m sorry to have to say, the representative from Delaware has contributed, through the net of his actions…” Arminio began during remarks on Thursday, before boos began to erupt from the gathered crowd.

After being warned of his remarks, later, Arminio did it again, leading to another outburst from the crowd.

During the evening, amid turmoil following the remarks, McBride tried to intervene, saying she didn’t want Arminio to not have a chance to speak.

“I don’t want this gentleman to not have the ability…,” started the Congresswoman.

However, Republican candidate Michael Katz, who is running for Senate in Delaware, interrupted her.

“No, get him out of here,” said Katz.

Following Arminio’s ouster, Katz called for him to withdraw from the upcoming elections.

EXCERPT:

Congress had a chance to address concerns about data centers felt by residents across the country, though that effort was stymied last Thursday by Democrats’ rejection of a unanimous consent request brought by Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio.

Husted, who faces a special election in November, introduced the Ratepayer Protection Act in July to protect ratepayers from having to foot the bill for data centers.

“The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state utility regulators to consider standards, ensuring that large-load customers pay the full, incremental cost of the infrastructure needed to serve them,” Husted said from the Senate floor. “The Ratepayer Protection Act rests on a principle every American understands: Pay your own way,” he added.

As he highlighted the increase in data centers in the next five years, Husted said lawmakers “need to protect American ratepayers from footing the bill.”

“So, as we look to build the future, we must follow some basic principles of fairness,” he said. “The company that is creating enormous new demands for electricity should pay the costs required to serve them.”

He also called attention to costs, which are expected to be a major factor in the upcoming midterms.

“Working families, small businesses, and senior citizens should not open up their electric bills and discover the pain for the power infrastructure needed by some large tech company in the world or in their neighborhood,” Husted said. The senator also touted how his bill will lead to more savings. “Most importantly, it will help the American people keep more of what they earn.”

Television stations ignored a cease-and-desist letter from Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller’s legal team warning them not to broadcast an advertisement centered on the allegations against his ex-wife.

A lawyer for Miller demanded that Cleveland-based station WKYC not air the advertisement from his opponent, Democratic Ohio congressional candidate Brian Poindexter, arguing it contained “false, malicious, and defamatory statements.” WKYC and other Cleveland stations, WEWS, WJW and WOIO, aired the ad, according to Politico.

“The ad mentioned is filled with lies,” Miller’s campaign spokeswoman Abigail Angelos told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Each of the statements in the advertisement are entirely unsubstantiated and contradicted by evidence. For example, there has been no restraining order placed against Congressman Miller. That is patently false. In fact, the opposite is true. To claim otherwise is defamatory which is why we issued a preemptive warning to the stations that could be in a position to air this ad.”

Miller and his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, filed restraining orders against each other. Moreno filed hers on July 31, alleging that he physically grabbed one of her attorneys, Andrew Zashin, during a court hearing and also used a profane slur to insult Zashin’s fiancée as they left the courtroom during a separate hearing in May.

The very people who have lived and are living under the incompetent governance of Gov. Gavin Newsom and California’s former attorney-general, Kamala Harris, are not excited about living under either as president of these here United States.

“California voters are souring on the idea of Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris running for president in 2028,” reports the far-left Politico. “The share of California registered voters excited about a Newsom presidential run fell 11 points, from 48% in March to 37% in September. For Harris, excitement fell 13 points, from 41% to 28%.”

Naturally, the numbers jump a little among Democrats. “Democrats and Democratic-leaning registered voters — 61% — said they would be excited for a Newsom presidential bid, according to the survey, while 39% would not be. Democrats were less keen on Harris, with a 55% majority saying they would not be excited for her to run.”

Politico frames this as good news for Newsom with this headline — “California Democrats see Newsom as stronger 2028 contender than Harris” — but the difference among Democrats, the only group that matters in a presidential primary, is six measly points. There is plenty of excitement for both.

Nevertheless, the real headline here is that people who know Newsom and Kamala best do not want to see them in charge of the entire country.

Murphy discussed the argument behind his book, “Crisis of the Common Good,” warning that the country will remain “stuck” with leaders like Trump unless the government attempts to manipulate the conditions influencing voters.

“Those are the two things I think Americans are going through right now,” Murphy said.

“They don’t feel powerful at all, and they feel lonely.

“And so, government should build a set of rules in which people feel more powerful — that’s why the minimum wage is so important — and people feel so more connected.

“That’s why, you know, rebuilding healthy institutions in your town should be a project that government is involved in.”

Political committees tied to the Soros family have directed tens of millions of dollars to Democratic-aligned organizations during the 2026 election cycle, including a group spending heavily in Michigan’s closely watched U.S. Senate race.

Democracy PAC and Democracy PAC II had distributed more than $40 million to Democratic-aligned organizations as of the end of June, according to campaign finance records. Recipients include Senate Majority PAC, House Majority PAC and J Street Action Fund. Federal Election Commission records show Democracy PAC II alone reported more than $6 million in total disbursements through June 30.

The spending has drawn attention in Michigan, where Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers.

Senate Majority PAC, which received $9 million from Democracy PAC this cycle, has committed $30 million to supporting El-Sayed in Michigan, according to recent reports.

The outside support comes as El-Sayed has made reducing the influence of wealthy donors a prominent campaign theme.

“The fundamental corruption of our politics has been the system that allows corporations and would-be oligarchs and billionaires to buy politicians,” El-Sayed said in a 2025 interview.

In the House, the fight has expanded far outside the few-dozen seats considered the most competitive as Republicans start to unleash their massive warchest: Since Aug. 1, more than $110 million in ad bookings have gone toward Republican-held districts so red that Trump won them by double digits.

HOW DO REPUBLICANS DEAL WITH EL SAYED? On Tuesday morning, Abdul el Sayed, buddy of Hasan Piker, DSA-adjacent, and Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan, stepped onto a street corner in Detroit to begin a news conference. Despite all of the controversies that rage around him at any given moment, the event started precisely where any Democratic candidate should start these days — with the cost of getting around.

El Sayed was introduced by Denzel McCampbell, the DSA-endorsed councilman from Detroit’s District 7. “Right behind us you see at this gas station that gas prices are nearing $5 per gallon,” McCampbell said. “And for Michiganders that means that we are paying an average of $74 to fill a 15-gallon tank. That’s nearly $10 more than folks were paying just a week ago.”

El Sayed picked it up from there. “This really is a crisis for Michiganders, Detroiters,” he said. “Seeing that number at the gas pump is the difference between being able to afford the groceries you’re going to buy, or not. It’s the difference between being able to pay your car note or pay your rent or not.”

The price of gas, el Sayed continued, is not the whole story. “When you see that number at the gas tank, yes, that hits you, but then the other number that we all got to pay attention to is the price of diesel. Nearly $6.81 today. That is an insane price. And you may not pump diesel, but diesel pumps you, and the way that diesel pumps you is that you’ve got to pay for the price of everything that gets shipped to the places that you buy it in. So when you look at that loaf of bread or you look at that gallon milk, that loaf of bread, that gallon milk is more expensive because of the diesel that it took to get that to you, you are now paying the price of. And that operates across our entire economy.”

And then the punch line: “So we’re getting hit at the gas pump to go buy our groceries and then we’re getting hit at the grocery store for the groceries that got there — all because of an insane war that we had no business fighting in the first place….”
