Election season is heating up, but are the polls telling voters the full story? Tudor Dixon sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner at McLaughlin & Associates and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, for an inside look at the battle for Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. McLaughlin breaks down the razor-thin Michigan Senate race, why he believes Republicans need to sharpen their message, and how turnout could ultimately determine control of the House and Senate. He also explains why he questions some national polling methodologies and argues that Republicans must take their case directly to voters rather than relying on traditional media. The conversation dives into Mike Rogers and the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Medicare for All, taxes, housing affordability, voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as Republican proposals that McLaughlin believes could help define a national midterm agenda. Tudor and McLaughlin also examine Democratic primary results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, concerns surrounding political fundraising and foreign money, and what both parties' strategies could mean for the balance of power in Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, McLaughlin says Republicans cannot simply run on President Trump's accomplishments—they need to clearly tell voters what comes next and define the choice facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday.

Los Angeles election officials are weighing safeguards around prediction markets after betting odds diverged from actual mayoral primary results, sparking fraud claims online.

In a fascinating new analysis, CNN's Harry Enten calculates that Donald Trump's net approval on the economy is 33 points underwater. That's a shocking 42-point swing from during the 2018 midterms, when Trump was in positive territory. On top of that, Enten notes that in the most recent CNN poll, Trump's net approval on inflation is 50 points underwater, and that this hasn't been rivaled by any other president. Meanwhile, Republican pollsters and strategists tell The Wall Street Journal that they fear that under Trump, the GOP has thrown away its traditional advantage on the economy. And they suggest time is running out to turn that around. We talked to New Republic senior editor Alex Shephard, who has been arguing well that Trump's unpopularity is the story of our politics. We discuss why the bottom fell out so quickly for Trump, what the punditry still gets wrong about 2024, and why Democrats won't make a big case that on the economy, their party tends to be far better than the GOP ever is.

Progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's U.S. Senate primary, defeating establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens in a major upset. Many pre-election polls showed El-Sayed with a much larger lead, but the race proved far tighter than expected, exposing polling weaknesses and reshaping Democrats' battle for control of the Senate.

It’s been a wild 24 hours — and an even wilder three weeks — in Wisconsin politics. Just as the latest Marquette Law School Poll wrapped up, another major candidate dropped out of the Democratic primary for governor. So, who better to help explain that than the premier pollster in the state? Dr. Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, joins alongside UW-L political science professor Dr. Anthony Chergosky. Together, they break down the latest polling data, unpack the chaos of a rapidly shifting candidate field — including Franklin’s story about hearing Mandela Barnes dropped out right after putting out a new poll and nearly driving into a ditch — and look under the hood at how modern polling actually works in a high-stakes swing state. MAIN TOPICS: The Primary Moving Target: Dr. Franklin shares his real-time reaction to major candidate exits (including Barnes dropping out right after polling completed) and explains how pollsters re-allocate "second choice" votes and "leaners." The Rise of Francesca Hong: A breakdown of candidate trajectories — how Hong built steady, organic momentum among younger and very liberal voters while other campaigns remained flat or stalled out. How Polling Actually Works Today: Busting the myth of random digit landline calling. Dr. Franklin explains Marquette's modern hybrid methodology using voter lists, text/email links, online panels, and how they filter out low-attention or "trash" responses. MAGA, Socialist & Political Buzzwords: A look at Marquette's polling experiment on "Democratic Socialism" vs. "DSA" — and a discussion on how labels like "MAGA," "Socialist," and "Fascist" are weaponized on the campaign trail and whether overusing them dilutes their impact. The Limited Power of Endorsements: Why 89% of state Democrats approve of Gov. Tony Evers, yet his endorsement of David Crowley hasn't automatically translated into primary vote totals — plus why primary voters consistently make up their minds in the final days.

Political strategist and pollster Lee Hartley Carter recently joined us at the Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different podcast to share her sharp insights on the current American political landscape. As the founder of Carter Intelligence Group and author of “Persuasion: Convincing Others When Facts Don’t Seem to Matter,” Lee Hartley Carter brings a rare combination of research expertise and communications mastery to some of the most pressing questions facing voters and candidates today. From the rise of democratic socialism to the upcoming midterms, Lee Hartley Carter unpacks why anti-establishment energy is reshaping both parties and what it means for the future of American politics. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Anti-Establishment Wave Is Rewriting the Rules Lee Hartley Carter argues that the single most defining force in American politics right now is a deep distrust of institutions. Voters no longer trust big companies, big government, or career politicians to deliver on their promises. This sentiment fueled Donald Trump’s rise on the right, and it is now driving a new generation of progressive candidates on the left. She points to Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in New York City as a prime example. A candidate in his early thirties with no executive experience captured the city’s attention by speaking directly to people’s frustrations about rent and affordability. According to her, candidates who name real problems and offer simple, emotionally resonant solutions are winning, while those who run on credentials and qualifications are losing.   Lee Hartley Carter on Why Feelings Trump Facts in Modern Political Communication One of the most powerful observations Lee Hartley Carter makes is that feelings consistently override facts in political decision-making. Christopher Lochhead challenges the old saying that facts do not care about your feelings, flipping it to argue that feelings do not care about your facts. Lee Hartley Carter wholeheartedly agrees with this framing. This dynamic explains why candidates who connect emotionally with voters consistently outperform those who lead with policy credentials and experience. Telling voters they are wrong or uninformed only pushes them further away. She emphasizes that the candidates winning today are the ones validating what people already feel, then offering a focused, believable path forward rather than a long list of policy positions.   Lee Hartley Carter on What to Expect From the Midterms and Beyond Lee Hartley Carter predicts that the upcoming midterms will not be the clear blue wave that conventional wisdom might suggest. Despite an unpopular war, high gas prices, and a president with approval ratings hovering around 38 percent, Democrats hold only a razor-thin lead in generic ballot polling. She believes the race remains wide open for both parties. Her advice for Republicans is to stop reacting to socialist messaging and start setting their own clear narrative, much like Trump did in 2016 with Make America Great Again. For Democrats, she sees affordability as the singular issue that could carry them to victory, provided the moderate and progressive wings of the party stop undermining each other. Lee Hartley Carter believes the candidates who define the conversation rather than respond to it will ultimately win.

She’s the founder and CEO of Carter Intelligence Group and author of “Persuasion: Convincing Others When Facts Don’t Seem to Matter” As a television news personality and researcher, she doesn't rely on traditional polling for her unique insights into U.S. politics; rather, she analyzes voters' emotional responses to help understand and empathize with them on a more visceral level. The reaction matters, but the “why” behind it matters more. It was this approach that allowed her to accurately predict the results of the 2016 presidential election and primaries.   Links Follow Lee Hartley Carter!

The only winner out of political polls is the media for the simple reason it gives them a chance to pontificate and clickbait. "Luxon fronts media after bad poll”. Why is that the headline as opposed to "Hipkins answers questions after poll collapse"? Let's do some simple math: there are about 53% of voters who are broadly centre-right. Pollsters will tell you this to be true. If you accept NZ First are doing well, their highest number is 15% so take that off your 53%, you are down to 38%. Take a chunk off for ACT, they seem to be about 7-9% so let's call it 8%, and you're at 30%, which is where National roughly are. The numbers make perfect sense. It's not a "bad poll", it's simple math. If there is one “real” story in any given poll, especially this week's one, it's that the main parties of Labour and National are sharing a shrinking slice of the vote, which if you like MMP is what is supposed to happen. The Greens, ACT and NZ First have established themselves as a permanent presence. We should be celebrating this, not because of specific policy, but because we voted for a system that spreads the vote and provides greater representation. That's what we wanted so that is good news. Also, you've got Opportunity at 4%. I don't think they'll get there, but if I'm wrong and they get the 5% and they go on to become the newest member of the permanent club, that is further support that will bleed away from the major players. The media coverage discusses none of this because I suspect they haven't thought about it, or indeed they may not even understand it. A lot of Europe with proportional systems have Governments led by parties who won the election with a vote in the 20's, if not low 20's. That is proportional representation. Here's the next big question: it's been ruled out by the Greens, but not Labour, so why not cut the head of Opportunity an electorate deal in Mt Albert? Mt Albert is tight. Helen White won it by a whisker. Opportunity could split the vote and hand the place to the Nats, or Labour could David Seymour it and Epsom her into Parliament and thus create a brand-new coalition partner. That's the really interesting part of the polls and machinations. But no, the media just want "Luxon fronts media after bad poll". They are stuck in the 90's. This is a way more gripping story than they are telling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 25% undecided number this late is not “noise,” it's the whole story. We sit down with pollster Nicole McCleskey and strategist Jay McCleskey to walk through a real New Mexico Republican primary poll for governor and what it reveals about who's voting, what they care about, and how quickly the race can swing in the final stretch.We get specific on polling methodology (live calls plus text-to-web, 400 likely GOP primary voters, and what a plus or minus 4.9% margin of error really means), then dig into the issues driving the base: corruption in government, crime, and border security. From there we hit the candidate fundamentals like name ID and favorability and why so many voters still don't have a firm opinion. The ballot test shows Greg Hull at 33%, Doug Turner at 30%, Duke Rodriguez at 12%, with 25% undecided, and we talk through what it takes to earn those late-breaking votes.Then we zoom out to the national environment, Trump's tough approval numbers, and why midterms can turn into a referendum unless Republicans force a clear choice. We also debate the general election matchup with Deb Haaland, including the fracking and public lands moment that could reshape the entire campaign if Republicans prosecute the argument with discipline.Subscribe, share this with a New Mexico voter, and leave us a rating and review.

Scott Rasmussen, President of RMG Research, joins the podcast to discuss his USA Today op-ed on the “10-10-80 nation” concept, highlighting the divide between elites and the general public. The veteran pollster notes that 69% of politically active elites would cheat to win, contrasting with 80% of voters who believe in fair elections. Rasmussen also emphasized the importance of state and local officials in counteracting federal ambition and the need for practical solutions like moving government operations out of Washington. He also discusses the impact of gas prices on voter sentiment, and how that will affect the midterms.

On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin to break down the latest 2026 midterm polling, the battle for control of Congress, and why Republican turnout could decide everything. McLaughlin explains how redistricting battles, independent voters, Hispanic voters, and Trump’s political machine could shape the road to November. They also dive into voter ID, tax policy, border security, the media’s impact on public opinion, and whether Republicans are doing enough to energize their base ahead of one of the most important midterm elections in modern political history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump and Richard Nixon have more in common than being president. They now share the dubious distinction of having almost the same numbers when it comes to Americans supporting their impeachment. Anew Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll shows a majority of U.S. adults, or 55%, support a House impeachment vote. The poll shows 37% are opposed and 8% said they are unsure. Pollsters calculated a net “verdict” of +18, by subtracting the number of those who oppose a third Trump impeachment ftom those who approve it. The resullt has Trump very near Richard Nixon's numbers at the height of the Watergate scandal. We'll explore what it means and whether an impeachment is realistic as we welcome, Michael Shure and Mo Kelly for ‘This Week in Politics.' Then we hit pure Friday mode as we slide into the weekend with a swing through Florida and a look at new movies with The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder.
