An 11-point lead is disappointingly small given how unpopular Trump and his agenda appear to be.

  • “Only 11 points? WTF would the republicans have to do to sway so many tens of millions of you WHO STILL SUPPORT THIS AGENDA? Commit genocide on republicans?”

Don't get complacent — two months is a long time and Trump could still disrupt the race.

  • “Good shit but we still have 2 months...im not counting any chickens before they hatch Even beyond possible tightening of polls who knows what shenanigans Trump could have planned especially with all the USPS bs going on”

Even a Democratic win in the midterms won't change much because Democrats won't act decisively.

  • “It will be a bloodbath and then the Dems will do nothing with it but pass "affordability" messaging bills while Trump keeps looting and turning DC into rubble.”

“In the seventh month of the Iran war, the options range from keeping American forces at the ready while looking for a deal, to walking away, to waging all-out war until Iran surrenders”

    Reddit commenters voice skepticism and frustration over the lead's size

    Commenters questioned why the Democratic advantage isn't larger given Trump's numbers, while others cautioned against overconfidence with two months left before the midterms.

      These numbers from the latest @nytimes.com poll are just ... wow. D+8.5 on generic ballot, 7 point issue advantages on the economy and immigration (among other issues), and only 66% of *Republicans* say they want a congressional candidate who will support Trump

    • Only 11 points? WTF would the republicans have to do to sway so many tens of millions of you WHO STILL SUPPORT THIS AGENDA? Commit genocide on republicans? I’m flabbergasted that this isn’t an overwhelming win for democrats. I know, the ones who need to hear it aren’t in this sub, then know to keep their ignorant mouths shut and stay in their echo…

    • Just 21% approve of how the Democrats are handling their job in Congress compared with 70% who disapprove The funniest (recurring) phenomenon in American politics is voters giving Republicans all the power and then begrudging Democrats not being able to stop Republicans from fucking shit up.

    USA Today coverage of the poll circulates on Reddit

    A USA Today writeup of the poll numbers was posted to Reddit, prompting a wave of comments debating whether the 11-point lead is large enough given Trump's low approval.

    “Which political party is most inclined to have your back? While neither gets high marks generally, the Democrats are judged more empathetic when it comes to the concerns of voters…”
