00:00And now I do want to look into the future, because if you're saying Americans aren't approving of President Trump's policies, I wonder what that really means for Republicans in the midterms as we sit here right now.
00:12And yes, we still do have a year and a half until the midterms in 2026. Who's in a better position right now, Democrats or Republicans?
00:21So right now, Democrats are in the better position. They're at 44 percent in this poll versus 42 percent for Republicans.
00:29But that is that is a very, very tight margin there. So, you know, I if I were a Democrat running for Congress, I would really like to see that number higher.
00:38I'd like to see that spread somewhere around the six percent range. So that's certainly, you know, Republicans winning up and down the ballot.
00:47That is not off the table here. If we look at independents specifically, who, you know, some of these folks are running for Congress will really be after their vote.
00:56They are backing Democrats by a 38 to 32 percent margin. So that is some good news for Democrats here.
01:04But otherwise, if I'm a Democrat looking at this, I would be a little bit worried.
