Brit Hume was all doom and gloom over a recent Fox News poll that didn’t bode well for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The Fox News Poll taken on Wednesday showed that voters favored Democrats by nine points on the economy.
The Democrat Party hasn’t seen that much support on the economy in a Fox poll since 2026. Furthermore, Hume, Fox News Chief Political Analyst, shared with Fox host Bret Baier that only 24% of Americans see the current economy as “excellent or good.”
“You look at the condition of the economy,” Baier said. “And this is the one, for midterms, we look at closely. And that is ‘excellent or good,’ 24%; only ‘fair or poor,’ 76%. And that has got to have Republicans, Senate and House, concerned.”
“Absolutely, Bret,” Hume replied. “And the truth is, there’s not much good news for Republicans in this whole poll we did. Underwater on the economy, as you showed, underwater on affordability. Those two issues are front and center for sure.”

On a slightly brighter note, Republicans beat Democrats in support for national security and crime.
“And the other thing is, of course, on the question of intensity and voter sentiment,” he continued. “It appears Republicans are down, but if you add the people who are very likely or extremely likely to vote, the difference for Democrats is very slight. So, Republicans can take some faith or and some hope from that. With an unpopular incumbent in this particular presidency in its first midterm, the way of history is pretty strong, and the party in power in the White House has historically, with very few exceptions, done very poorly in a midterm like this one.”
NEW: Fox’s Brit Hume calls out Democrat socialists: “The Democratic Party has gone so far left it’s off the side of the table… Democrats are really in bad odor with the public.”

Hume also said Republicans have some hope for the midterms because of the Democrat Party’s extremism.
“They’ve got all these extreme candidates out there, some of whom won nominations, one who got elected Mayor of NYC.”
“This is one of the reasons Republicans have some hope here,” Hume said.
