Hakeem Jeffries 2026 House poll HarrisX

by Flint: Hakeem Jeffries

A troubling new poll from HarrisX delivers bad news for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Among likely voters in the 2026 US House race, Democrats lead Republicans by just 51% to 49%, a razor-thin +2 margin. That's below what Democrats need to hold the majority. For context, Democrats led Donald Trump's first midterm by a much wider margin, per the same pollster.
