We're still a long way from the midterms and as the pain and suffering caused by all of DOGE's cuts and Trump's idiotic tariff wars and other self-inflicted wounds gradually settles over the country in the next year - it was always going to take time for the real pain to be felt - then I do think the polls favoring Democrats will increase and their margins over the GOP will grow as well.

The real problem is that with all of the gerrymandering being done by the GOP in House races and their inherent advantage in the Senate (more reliable red states than blue ones) it may not make much difference. Add in that the GOP is steadily buying more legacy media and forcing it to the right, or at least to a Trump-friendly position, and the Democrats are likely going to find it harder than ever next year to get their message out, or to count on the media to accurately report what's happening in the country. They may still win a victory, but it's going to be a lot tougher than in past off-year elections with unpopular GOP Presidents, like 2018 or 2006.
