Enten predicts that if this trend continues, Republicans will be in for bad news in the 2026 midterm elections.
“If the president’s net approval rating for the economy is positive and Donald Trump is not, then you minimize the loss of House seats, right? You lose about nine seats on average,” he said. “If his net approval rating for the economy is negative, as is the case with Donald Trump now […] The average loss was 28 seats. “
He added that this means goodbye to the Republican majority in the House and possibly even control of the Senate.
