DDHQ's @geoffreyvs joined @ChrisCillizza for a lively Substack conversation about redistricting, the 2026 midterm picture, Trump's job approval rating, and some political history. You can watch it on DDHQ's Substack here: https://t.co/LEEsl2BI8m
A check on polling this week shows a significant souring of public opinion toward Trump and his administration.
Presidential approval is now five points underwater, and recent polling shows Americans moving firmly toward the belief that the country is on the wrong track.
7-day change in averages:
🟠Presidential Disapproval +3.0%
🟣Trump Unfavorable +1.5%
🟣Vance Unfavorable +2.7%
🟣Musk Unfavorable +3.4%
🟢Schumer Favorable +2.2%
🟤Wrong Track +6.9%
🔵Democratic Generic Ballot +0.1%

DDHQ Race Update (est. 97% in): PA US Senate
David McCormick (R): 3,350,574 (+34,661)
(49.0%)
Bob Casey Jr. (D): 3,315,913
(48.5%)
Once all Cambria County votes are counted, we expect McCormick's lead to grow.
Across Pennsylvania, we estimate there are approximately 90,000 to 110,000 outstanding provisional ballots to be adjudicated, around 18,000 election-day votes to count in Cambria County, and an undetermined number of outstanding UOCAVA ballots still arriving, likely fewer than 10,000 statewide. These provisional and UOCAVA ballots still need to be counted.
We are working to get a clearer accounting on the number of provisional ballots and need to see at least some of them tabulated to assess whether we can project a winner in this race.
