Methodology · source of data
How this tracker is built.
Morning Consult's latest reported results reflect data gathered through the week ending June 21, 2026 among a nationally representative sample of registered U.S. voters. The midterm sample pools recent weeks for an MOE of approximately ±1 percentage point on the topline; subgroup MOEs are larger and disclosed where shown.
The survey is conducted online. Respondents are collected via quota sampling based on age, gender, education and voter registration status. Weekly samples are weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters based on age, gender, education, race and ethnicity, marital status, parental status, home ownership, geographic region and 2024 presidential vote choice.
