NEW: Our first report on the swing voters of the 2026 midterms finds that when they are asked which policies would make them definitely vote for a Democrat, the most selected option is “raise taxes on the wealthy,” followed by “create a Medicare for All health care system.”

Swing voters currently favor a Democratic candidate for Congress over a Republican by a 12-point margin, 33% to 21%. However, a plurality of swing voters (46%) remain undecided.

When provided with a list of possible criticisms of the Democratic Party, swing voters' biggest issues are that “leadership is too old and out of touch” (32%) and the party is “not doing enough to lower costs” (32%).

I am concerned that voters do not also mention the threat of authoritarianism, voter suppression, as well as the household economic issues. Do voters care about or even understand what democracy is?
