A Morning Consult poll conducted December 8 to 14 among 19,954 registered voters indicates Democrats at 44% and Republicans at 43% on the 2026 generic congressional ballot, according to an X post by @OpenSourceZone shared over the past 59 minutes through 10:46 PM UTC on December 21, 2025. In economic developments during this period, Moody's economist Mark Zandi stated on X that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' November consumer price inflation estimate of 2.7% year-over-year, released last week, is badly flawed, with an alternative estimate courtesy of Matt Colyar showing inflation unchanged at 3.0%. The White House posted a "Lo-fi Christmas MAGA Victories to Relax/Wrap Gifts To" audio broadcast link with a Merry Christmas message on X, according to its official account @WhiteHouse.
