Trader consensus assigns Democrats a 59.5% chance of winning the 2028 presidential election, reflecting sustained backlash against the incumbent Republican administration’s second-term record. President Trump’s disapproval rating reached 62% in early May amid escalating conflict with Iran and domestic pressures from rising inflation and energy costs, developments that have lifted Democratic odds from the mid-50s earlier this year. Markets now price in likely Democratic gains in the 2026 midterms that could flip slim Republican congressional majorities, creating an open-seat contest headlined by early frontrunners Vice President JD Vance and California Governor Gavin Newsom. These factors have kept the Republican side at 38.5% despite the party’s structural advantages in certain battleground states.
