Democrats hold steady 10 point margin in Generic House Ballot in Latest Survey 160 Tracking Poll 

Written By Kevin Collins

By Oscar Castorena and Kevin Collins

Today, we are releasing the results from our ongoing Survey 160 tracking poll conducted between July 14 and July 17. In addition to our continued research on presidential approval and the congressional generic ballot, this poll introduces a new experiment to test how exposure to recent news stories involving specific political figures affects voters' baseline perceptions of party corruption.

Presidential Approval and Generic Congressional Ballot

In a mixed mode text-to-web and online panel survey of 1,518 registered voters nationwide (see full methodological details at the bottom of this blog post), we find that Donald Trump’s approval has changed only slightly since our last poll. 37% of respondents somewhat or strongly approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president (holding steady from 37% last poll), while 62% of respondents either somewhat or strongly disapprove (marginally up from 60% last poll).

Our last two Survey 160 tracking polls showed Democrats with a 10-point lead in the generic ballot for the US House – and that lead remains steady at 10 points in our latest poll. Overall, 48% of voters favor the Democratic candidate, 38% favor the Republican candidate, and 15% remain unsure or refused to answer.

Looking at the crosstabs, the partisan lines remain firmly drawn: 96% of Democrats support the Democratic candidate, while 92% of Republicans support the Republican candidate. Support among independent voters also remains largely stable. In March, 51% of independents preferred Democratic candidates, 22% preferred Republican candidates, and 27% were undecided. By July, that stood at 48% for Democratic candidates and 24% for Republican candidates, with the remaining 28% undecided.

Full question wording and crosstabs are available below.

Measuring the Political Impact of Corruption

Turning to topics of the economy and corruption, the July survey included a survey experiment to see how respondents reacted to news stories related to the Trump administration’s record on the economy as well as public corruption. Respondents were presented with either an economic focused message (which blamed poor economic numbers on a range of Republican policies) and  a combination economic and corruption-focused message (which sought to link poor economic numbers to recent episodes of corruption in the Trump Administration), or a placebo control about the recent Taylor Swift - Travis Kelce wedding. 

The economic-only message read, 

“Critics of President Trump say that life is getting harder for Americans, and they blame his policies. The war with Iran has cost taxpayers more than $100 billion so far, and it has pushed gas prices up. Trump's tariffs have increased prices paid by all Americans at the store. 

Meanwhile, the Republican-passed tax cuts, mostly benefiting the wealthiest Americans, have added to the national debt, and the increase in interest rates has also made loans like mortgages and car payments more expensive. Many people are now using up their savings. At the same time, fewer new jobs are being created, and the economy is growing more slowly than it did in the last years of the Biden administration.

The Trump Administration sees things differently. It points out the stock market is booming. It says that the tax cuts it passed last year gave people bigger tax refunds than the year before and that tariffs will improve the economy in time. It says that its goals around the world matter more than the costs Americans face right now. And it says that other countries now respect America again.”

The economy and corruption message read, 

“Critics of President Trump say that life is getting harder for Americans, and they blame corruption in the administration. Donald Trump has personally made millions of dollars trading stocks, often after making statements or policy decisions that raised the value of the companies that he had invested in. Trump also made $636 million from his cryptocurrency, while nearly a 

million people lost a total of $3.8 billion investing in that cryptocurrency.  

At the same time, fewer new jobs are being created, and the economy is growing more slowly than it did in the last years of the Biden administration. The war with Iran has cost taxpayers more than $100 billion so far, and it has pushed gas prices up, while tariffs have increased prices paid at the store. 

The Trump Administration sees things differently. It says that all of Trump's stock trades were reported, just as the law requires. It points out the stock market is booming. It says that the tax cuts it passed last year gave people bigger tax refunds than the year before, and that tariffs will improve the economy in time.”

Finally, the placebo group received the following current events new story, 

“Pop musician Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce were married as they celebrated their wedding with hundreds of guests on Friday, July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023 and announced their engagement last August, hosted a celebration reported to include a roughly 1,000-person guest list. Details were kept private; guests reportedly signed NDAs and phones were banned.

Comedian and actor Adam Sandler, a longtime friend, officiated the ceremony. The couple's wedding looks were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by Jonathan Anderson, with shoes custom made by Christian Louboutin. Attendees spanned music, film, and sports, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Musical performances featured prominently, with Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks reported among those who performed. Outside the arena, a marquee lit up with the words "JUST&T MARRIED!"—a play on the couple's shared initials.”

Following these stories, respondents were asked “Based on what you read, do you think things in the United States are generally going in the right direction or the wrong direction?”, a question asked earlier in the survey as well. 

We can compare the responses of people who received an economic-focused story, an economy and corruption-focused story and the pop culture story control. Here is what we see:

Both the economy and economy plus corruption group reported the country was moving in the right and wrong direction at higher rates than the control group. The control group was far more likely to express no opinion. At the same time, there are no significant differences between the economy and economy plus corruption groups. Both news stories prime respondents to express an opinion on the direction of the country, whether negative or positive. 

Following the experimental treatment, we also re-asked respondents about their approval of President Trump and their preferences in the generic congressional ballot. Respondents were also asked, “Who do you think is more corrupt: the Democratic party, the Republican Party, both are equally corrupt, or neither?” For these questions, there were no significant differences across all three treatment groups.

As is evident, the effects of both treatments compared to the placebo, on both the approval and generic ballot question, are modest and do not quite reach statistical significance, suggesting either that these paragraphs were not very persuasive, or that they are baked into the existing views of the respondents. Regression tests of these treatment effects on these outcomes (rescaled to 0-1, controlling for baseline responses before treatment / placebo) are depicted below. Outcomes to the left all favor Democrats more (Direction of country under current administration is worse, Presidential approval is negative, generic ballot is more Democratic, and Republicans are more corrupt). But as you can see, none of the effect estimates are statistically significantly different from zero, nor are the effects statistically different from one another.

Methodological Statement

Sampling 

We sampled potential respondents from the L2 voter file of registered voters. The population was divided into 36 non-overlapping strata based on race, age, participation in the 2024 general election, party alignment, and educational attainment model category. This stratification schema was used to define a target number of completes for each stratum, sampled inversely proportional to expected response rates based on past surveys, oversampling to allow for variation from these expected response rates. After defining stratification and targets, we then limited the sample to records with cell-phones. We supplemented this text-to-web survey with a sample of Rep Data panelists who had been matched to the voter file, to mitigate concerns over coverage of a cell-only sample and other mode-specific non-response biases. We then reconstructed which sampling strata these Rep Data panelists belonged to based on voter file data. 

Fielding

The text-to-web and live interviewer surveys were fielded from Tuesday, July 14, 2026 through Monday, July 20, 2026. The first day of fielding was a “soft launch” limiting the number of records. We then activated the DRASS sampling system to adjust for relative non-response across sampling strata. We also set quotas matching target numbers for the completed responses by strata, such that we did not initiate any new surveys to respondents from strata where the quotas had been met, but did not terminate respondents after their respective stratum-level quota had been met either.

We checked for duplicate records in the text sample and found none, resulting in a final total of 1029 completed interviews via text-to-web.

The panel-to-web surveys were from a list of registered voter targets from Rep Data, who matched their panelists to the L2 voter file, limiting the respondents to those who were affirmatively matched. These panelists were then interviewed from Tuesday, July 14, 2026 through Friday, July 17, 2026, with quotas in place matching the sample stratification targets. These responses were then matched back to the L2 file, appending the demographic necessary to reconstruct their sampling strata. We completed 489 interviews via panel-to-web fielding, for a combined mixed-mode sample of 1518 interviews. 

Weighting

We first created base weights by rake weighting the text-to-web sample back to stratification benchmarks using fields associated with the respondents in the voter file. We then use these weights to estimate the frequency of survey taking, creating bins. Then we rake weight the panel-to-web responses using both the distribution of strata and this binned estimate of survey response frequency to create base weights for the panel-to-web survey. Finally, with these base weights as starting values, we pool the data together and rake the combined sample to the strata distribution, survey response frequency, census region, race, educational attainment, gender using self-reports, and party affiliation using self-reports. Weighting targets for census region, race, educational attainment, gender, and party affiliation are derived from the Pew NPORS survey conducted January 2025. Weights were trimmed at the 5th and 95th percentiles.

After accounting for the Kish 1+L approximation of the design effect from weighting, the margin of error is 3.16 percentage points. 

Other Disclosures

This survey of registered voters in the United States was paid for by Survey 160 as part of our ongoing methodological research initiatives. All estimates of public opinion have sources of error beyond that which is captured by the margin of error, including non-ignorable (post weighting) non-response error, frame and coverage error, measurement error and processing error.

Economy / Corruption Experiment Module

Q13. Vignette module — 1 of 3 randomly selected

Please read the following few paragraphs and answer the question below.

Q13a. Critics of Donald Trump question his handling of the economy

Critics of President Trump say that life is getting harder for Americans, and they blame his policies. The war with Iran has cost taxpayers more than $100 billion so far, and it has pushed gas prices up. Trump's tariffs have increased prices paid by all Americans at the store.

Meanwhile, the Republican-passed tax cuts, mostly benefiting the wealthiest Americans, have added to the national debt, and the increase in interest rates has also made loans like mortgages and car payments more expensive. Many people are now using up their savings. At the same time, fewer new jobs are being created, and the economy is growing more slowly than it did in the last years of the Biden administration.

The Trump Administration sees things differently. It points out the stock market is booming. It says that the tax cuts it passed last year gave people bigger tax refunds than the year before and that tariffs will improve the economy in time. It says that its goals around the world matter more than the costs Americans face right now. And it says that other countries now respect America again.

Q13b. Critics of Donald Trump blame economic problems on corruption

Critics of President Trump say that life is getting harder for Americans, and they blame corruption in the administration. Donald Trump has personally made millions of dollars trading stocks, often after making statements or policy decisions that raised the value of the companies that he had invested in. Trump also made $636 million from his cryptocurrency, while nearly a million people lost a total of $3.8 billion investing in that cryptocurrency.

At the same time, fewer new jobs are being created, and the economy is growing more slowly than it did in the last years of the Biden administration. The war with Iran has cost taxpayers more than $100 billion so far, and it has pushed gas prices up, while tariffs have increased prices paid at the store.

The Trump Administration sees things differently. It says that all of Trump's stock trades were reported, just as the law requires. It points out the stock market is booming. It says that the tax cuts it passed last year gave people bigger tax refunds than the year before, and that tariffs will improve the economy in time.

Q13c. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Marry

Pop musician Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce were married as they celebrated their wedding with hundreds of guests on Friday, July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023 and announced their engagement last August, hosted a celebration reported to include a roughly 1,000-person guest list. Details were kept private; guests reportedly signed NDAs and phones were banned.

Comedian and actor Adam Sandler, a longtime friend, officiated the ceremony. The couple's wedding looks were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by Jonathan Anderson, with shoes custom made by Christian Louboutin. Attendees spanned music, film, and sports, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Musical performances featured prominently, with Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks reported among those who performed. Outside the arena, a marquee lit up with the words "JUST&T MARRIED!"—a play on the couple's shared initials.
