Democrats Favor a Full Sweep of Congress in the 2026 Midterms

Democrats Sweep: leaning yes (62%)

A Democratic House takeover now looks very likely at 90%, and with Texas's Senate seat leaning Democratic at 65%, the conditions for a full sweep are falling into place — though a Republican Senate remains a real possibility at 28%, keeping the outcome genuinely open.

Gavin Newsom Leads a Wide-Open 2028 Democratic Race
