Notes

Original Economist/YouGov toplines p.7 (Q27): Democratic 45%, Republican 40%, other 2%, not sure 6%, will not vote 6% (rounding). 1,501 registered voters, Oct 19–20, MoE +/-3 pp. Use the 2026 House generic congressional ballot question, NOT Senate party preference. Distinct from Economist/YouGov Oct 10–12 wave already in hub. Public hub checked Oct 23; latest listed generic poll fieldwork ends Oct 19. Check duplicate preview.
