2026 Midterms: NBC Poll Drops DEVASTATING News For Democrats (Trump's Path To Victory)  The latest NBC News poll with Steve Kornacki just dropped — Trump at 44% approval, brutal inflation numbers, and Democrats leading the generic ballot. But when you actually break it down, this poll is DEVASTATING for Democrats and shows Trump’s clear path to a Republican landslide in the 2026 midterms.  In this video I expose the media spin, reveal the hidden wins on border security, explain the massive enthusiasm gap, and show exactly how “drill baby drill,” Trump rallies, and replacing RINOs will flip the script and deliver America First victories.  What the NBC Poll really reveals: • Trump 44% approval (same as 2018 but Atlas Intel shows 50%) • 62% disapprove of inflation handling • Border security approval at 53% • Democrats only +6 on generic ballot (down from +10 in 2018) • Huge enthusiasm gap: Democrats 75% vs Republicans 60%  Timestamps: 0:00 - NBC Poll Drops DEVASTATING News For Democrats – Steve Kornacki Breakdown 1:35 - Trump's 44% Approval Rating & 2018 Midterms Comparison 2:48 - Why the Economy & 62% Inflation Disapproval Will Decide 2026 3:44 - Immigration Numbers: Border Security at 53% Approval 5:40 - Generic Ballot & Massive Enthusiasm Gap Exposed 9:13 - “Drill Baby Drill” Will Crash Prices & Win Back Voters 11:18 - RINOs Exposed: Thune, Cornyn, Tillis, Collins Dragging Us Down 13:40 - Cornyn vs Paxton Senate Primary – Who Trump Should Back 14:06 - Your Action Plan: Primary the RINOs & Secure the Red Wave 15:10 - Final Thoughts: Trump’s Clear Path To Victory in 2026  This is why the fake news is panicking and why Republicans are in a stronger position than they want you to believe.

00:00So I came across this NBC video on YouTube where Steve Kornacki, you know, the guy that does all

00:07the polls and he's showing all the numbers all the time. There was something interesting that

00:12happened that I don't even think they caught themselves. There's because obviously, you know,

00:19mainstream media, it's just whatever Trump says, it's bad. Whatever he does, it's bad. Hey guys,

00:26do you remember Trump bad? You know what I mean? That's literally their whole stick. Trump bad,

00:32Trump bad, Trump bad. That is it. And that is all. So it's going to be quite interesting to see

00:36what they're going to run with in a few years when Trump is gone and there's somebody else,

00:41which maybe Marco Rubio, we'll talk about that maybe in another video. We ain't going to dive

00:46too deep into that one, but it's going to be quite interesting to see what they run with then,

00:52you know, because, uh, yeah, this is quite interesting. Now, obviously there's going to

00:59be a lot of bashing Trump in this video expected. Okay. But, but there's a reason why I'm showing

01:07you this video here. Keep that in mind. So stick around. Cause I know there's a lot of y'all

01:12who are

01:12like, man, I ain't trying to hear this BS. I know I get it. I get it. But once again,

01:19y'all know me,

01:20there's a reason why I'm showing you this baby, just stick around. All right. Now,

01:24uh, make sure you guys smack that like button, subscribe if you are new and let's jump into it.

01:31Welcome back. NBC news chief data analyst, Steve Kornacki is here to break down the results of

01:36our latest NBC news poll. Steve, some big takeaways here. Absolutely. Kristen. I mean,

01:41let's start with the headline. Where does Donald Trump stand heading into this midterm year here?

01:45A 44% approval rating for the president, you know, not far off where he was when we last checked

01:50in,

01:50but I think for Trump here in his first term, that 2018 midterm, this is almost exactly where he was

01:57at that point too. Of course, there was a 40 seat democratic landslide that year.

02:01Full disclosure. Uh, I believe it was Atlas Intel who has been the most accurate poster thus far,

02:08um, based on past elections. Atlas Intel had Trump at 50%. So yeah, just, just the FYI. Okay. Let's get

02:19back to, uh, their Trump bashing. Okay. Because that's what they're doing. That's what they're

02:24doing.

02:25Crats took back the house. Also what is driving the low number for Trump? It continues to be the

02:30economy. Look at this. Kristen asking folks, do you approve of how the president has handled

02:34inflation cost of living specifically? 36% approved 62 disapproved. That's down a year ago.

02:40It was 42 55. It's twice as bad now for him. Steve, that's a big dip on a critical issue

02:46for this midterm election. Absolutely. Kristen voters continue to say this one is of pretty

02:50central importance to them. And then also, are they feeling it? You know, have Trump's policies

02:54helped or hurt almost 50%? They're saying they have hurt a majority of independents saying the same

03:01thing. We checked in the president on some other issues here, immigration now 44% approval. But

03:06this is interesting. We also asked not immigration. We asked border security. And when you put it that

03:12way, it is different. 53% majority approve of the president. They're almost one in 10 voters

03:17have this split opinion, disapprove immigration, approve on border security. And I think this spills

03:22over to broader attitudes about immigration. These high profile incidents, Minnesota, you know,

03:27look at this ice, a positive rating of only 38% for ice. Does that mean the country is getting

03:32more dovish on immigration? Not necessarily. Cause when we ask about sanctuary cities, look at that

03:3633, 43, also very negative there. So complicated attitudes, I think on immigration. How about the

03:42state of the two parties heading into the midterm, the generic ballot, it's a six point advantage here

03:46for Democrats. All right. Now, now we're getting into the meat and potatoes, ladies and gentlemen,

03:51this is really where you need to start paying very close attention. Cause we, I'm going to let it play

03:58for a little bit, but we going to be revisiting some things. Okay. Pay very close attention to what

04:04is being said and what is being shown on your screen. All right. Okay. Let's keep it rolling.

04:11I believe for them, although we mentioned 2018 Trump's first term at this point, it was 10 points

04:17for Democrats. So it is a little bit less. And I think what's driving the democratic advantage now

04:21really is heavily this. It's the interest of their own base. We ask folks, if they have the highest

04:27level of interest in these elections, three quarters of Democrats are saying they do barely

04:3260% of Republicans are. And again, that is a difference. Kristen, when you go back to that

04:37first Trump midterm, the gap wasn't as pronounced as it is right now. This though, as well, the image of

04:44the parties getting outside the base here, what all voters think, look at this. Republicans are

04:47not that popular Democrats though, even more unpopular than Republicans. Well, this is so

04:53significant because even though they have an enthusiasm advantage, they clearly have an image

04:58issue. That's it. And that gets to the question too, then how do voters look at these two parties

05:03when it comes to the major issues here? So Democrats do have this advantage. When you ask about threats

05:08to democracy, that's an 11 point advantage for Democrats. They're democratic voters say that's their top

05:13issue. Republican voters say the border security, immigration, more important to them, big Republican

05:19advantages. But Kristen, this'll be it. It's the economy. It's a tie between the parties.

05:24Republicans have had the advantage on this issue for nearly a decade. Now it's wiped away.

05:29Question going forward, did Democrats actually open an advantage on the economy? That could be key to

05:34them if they are going to have a big midterm. I don't think that's going to work, but he is

05:40correct,

05:40right? It's always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always the economy.

05:49It's always the economy. That is the bread and butter. That is where your bread, that's where

05:56your goodness gracious, I can't talk. That is where your bread is buttered. The economy. What do people

06:03feel? Because if you guys remember back to, uh, 2024, uh, leading up to the election, all of the

06:11Democrats, all the mainstream media for a while there, we're all just saying, Oh, the economy's

06:15great. We don't know what you guys are talking about. Things are amazing. Look, look at this

06:19number. Look at that number. See, these numbers are, are fantastic. Y'all are tripping. Y'all going

06:25crazy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then once they realize, Oh crap,

06:29this ain't working, this ain't working. Then they try to, you know, shift course a little

06:33bit and they started, you know, being a little more honest about what was happening. And you

06:38saw Joe Biden and the, the, the, the Biden Kamala Harris administration start pulling

06:43from the strategic reserves to try to lower the price of gas, you know, doing stuff like

06:49that. You saw, um, what's, what's the guy's name? Uh, crap. I'm drawing a blank. You saw interest

06:56rates to get lowered right before the election, you know, kind of interesting how that worked,

07:01but you know, they're neutral, but magically interest rates got lowered right before an

07:09election. Hmm. Crazy how that works, ain't it? Crazy how that works. We'll, we'll see if

07:14that happens again before this election. We'll, we'll see, we'll see how even or, or nonpartisan

07:20this, they really are over there, but yeah, I mean, it's the economy, it's the economy.

07:28And we still have a whole lot of time before this next election to get that straightened

07:33out. Gas prices obviously will come way, way back down. Um, as a matter of fact, I think

07:39they may drop even further below where they were considering the fact that, uh, yeah, now

07:45we got Venezuela. Okay. Uh, we, we could possibly start getting some oil from Iran, which we

07:51weren't previously. Uh, we can start getting some oil from there now that we basically,

07:56uh, took control over Iran, uh, or will be taking control over Iran. Um, so yeah, we,

08:04now we've got more sources of oil plus our own oil. We're, we're drilling drill, baby drill.

08:09You guys know what Trump ran on. So that is going to start lowering, which is going to also

08:14lower the price of goods because obviously things have to be shipped. And if it's expensive

08:18to ship, that price gets pushed on to the consumers, obviously. So when that, when the

08:25price to ship things comes down, the price of goods also comes down with it. Now, uh,

08:32I want to go back to, uh, where was it? I want to go back to a bit here. This

08:47general congressional ballot, 2018, 50% 2018. We were at 40. Now we're at 44.

08:58And this is considering the fact that, um, we aren't very enthusiastic at all right now.

09:08Not very enthusiastic at all. And from what Trump has stated, and from what I've heard,

09:14uh, Trump is about to go on a massive tour of the country. He's about to start doing some rallies,

09:20uh, you know, 2024 style, getting people more engaged, getting people more enthusiastic,

09:26getting people out, uh, uh, and, and, and hyped up to get out and vote. He's going to go on

09:32a tour

09:33like he was doing in 2024 to get reelected for president, but he's going to do that for the

09:38midterms. Now, if that remains true, I think there's 61 spikes way, way up, way, way up.

09:49And if this goes up and we're basically even right. Uh, at least in terms of, uh, party view, which

10:00who knows, I think these numbers aren't, aren't accurate, but we're basically even, as a matter

10:08of fact, we're, we're in a little bit of a better position. Uh, that's going to spell doom for the

10:13Democrat party because now we're showing out in force. Democrats are already discouraged because

10:18their party is absolutely garbage, right? Our party isn't garbage. We just have a select few people

10:23that happen to be in leadership or senior positions that are absolutely garbage. So it's dampening.

10:29It's putting a, you know, it's putting a stranglehold on the entire party, right?

10:34John Thunes, the Mitch McConnell's, but the great news is Mitch McConnell, he's gone. Okay. So be

10:41encouraged. Kentucky stand up. All right. Make sure y'all elect somebody great. Uh, we're going to be

10:53I'm not too happy about who was elected to possibly replace him, but we shall see it's better than Tom

10:59Tillis. I mean, he was absolutely garbage. So there's another rhino gone. Susan Collins is up

11:04for a reelection. We shall see what's going to go down with her, uh, uh, reelection race. John Cornyn,

11:10uh, his whole situation is not looking good at all. Uh, there was speculation that Trump was going to

11:16come out and endorse either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton for Senate in Texas. Uh, and there have

11:23been, uh, listen, I have not for, for like a week after that was announced. I had not seen

11:31Ken Paxton's name or anybody for that. Matter of fact, look, I got to throw this up here. Y'all

11:37I have to, I have to just so y'all don't think I'm BS. And look, look at this. Look,

11:42I just reopened

11:43the page. Look, I'm at the, I'm at the very top of the page. You see that I'm at the

11:47very top.

11:48Look, what's right here. Ken Paxton from Matt Gaetz, Ken Paxton. Okay. Because I was literally

11:54just about to say, I had not seen Ken Paxton's name mentioned so much on my timeline. I mean,

11:59it was Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton, like positive for Ken Paxton.

12:04Hey, we need Ken Paxton. F John, F John Cornyn, Ken Paxton. We, we, we need, we need Ken Paxton.

12:09We need Ken Paxton. Like it was crazy, crazy. And now polls have come out showing that even if

12:16Trump endorses John Cornyn, John Cornyn still loses to Ken Paxton by one point that is unheard

12:23of. It's unheard of. Typically, if you get the stamp of approval from the Don himself,

12:30uncle Trump, you get the win. You get the W in a primary, right? You, you automatically get the

12:36W against another Republican. It's automatic, but polls have come out. So it, Hey, if, if uncle

12:44Trump comes out and endorses Cornyn, first off, I'm going to be disappointed. Unless, unless, unless,

12:49unless it's in exchange for the save America act. If the Senate figures out how to pass the save

12:55America act before this, and then Trump comes out and says, Hey, I'm endorsing John Cornyn. I

13:02F it. But John Cornyn, this is your last go round. I promise you that y'all are not going

13:07to do this

13:07again. You are not going every, every four years or every time one of y'all rhinos are up for

13:12reelection. You're not going to dangle some piece of legislation above our head. It ain't

13:15happening. You get one time or one time only. And that is it because I understand. And I know

13:20that the save America act could very well be the downfall of rhinos in our party, because we will

13:26probably, and more than likely be able to get a lot more Republicans, uh, uh, into, uh, DC because of

13:34the save America act. So the, the, the, the, the, the, um, power of the rhinos will be greatly

13:40diminished because we'll have a lot more Republicans. So, Hey, if John Cornyn or John

13:45Thune or Lisa Makowski wants to vote, no one something, well, we got the votes for it anyway,

13:49because we got enough Republicans, even without y'all. You know what I mean? So that's the only

13:54way. Okay. Outside of that is Ken Paxton. It's Ken Paxton. And the people have spoken. Like I said,

14:01even if, even if Trump endorses John Cornyn, uh, Ken Paxton still wins by one point. Now, if Trump

14:07endorses Ken Paxton, Oh, Ken Paxton, uh, wins easily against John Cornyn wins easily. And keep

14:14in mind that they spent $70 million on John Cornyn to get him reelected. That's what these rhinos are

14:21willing to do. Okay. Uh, so, uh, get out and vote ladies and gentlemen, get out and vote because it

14:28matters. It really does. We're, we're, we're so close. We're so close to seeing a genuine America

14:36first Republican party. This ain't the time to give up. It's not the time to give up. We're so

14:42close. We're so close. If we, if we, if we can get, if we can get like three more rhinos

14:49out of the

14:49party, right? Three more. Matter of fact, we probably even need that. Two more, two more rhinos out of the

14:54party. I would say three more, three more. Cause there's some people that are like borderline that

14:59I'm not really, you know, we're good. We're good. Anyway, y'all stay safe out there. Peace and love.

15:08I'm out.
