(DCNF)—A majority of voters in both political parties support gerrymandering to bolster their own side’s chances in the upcoming midterm elections, according to a Politico poll released Friday.
Fifty-four percent of Democratic voters and 52% of GOP voters favor redrawing congressional district maps as a way to “gain advantage” in the midterms, the newly released Politico survey shows. Moreover, 68% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans back redistricting in order to “neutralize the other party,” according to the poll.
However, a Marquette Law School poll released on Wednesday found that 71% of all voters said they were opposed to states redrawing their congressional maps mid-decade. Meanwhile, only 28% of respondents said they favored mid-decade redistricting, according to the Marquette Law School survey.
A minority — 38% — of Americans backed drawing political maps through an “independent, politically neutral” process, according to the Politico poll.
The Politico survey found that 34% of respondents said political maps should be drawn by state legislatures but approved by voters, while 7% said they should be drawn by state legislatures without approval by voters and 21% responded they were unsure.
On Tuesday, a three-judge federal panel ruled 2-1 that Texas cannot use its newly redrawn Republican-backed congressional map which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law in August. Abbott told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a Wednesday interview that the decision “was a gross misjudgment,” the Houston Chronicle reported.
California voters meanwhile greenlit Proposition 50, Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s gerrymandering measure, on Nov. 4. Prop 50 seeks to add up to five Democratic seats in California in an effort to push back against Texas’ decision to redraw its congressional district lines in order to add more Republican seats.
The California Democratic Party has touted Prop 50 as a measure that ensures the 2026 midterms “are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.” The California GOP has conversely claimed that Prop 50 “takes California backwards.”
The Politico poll surveyed 2,098 U.S. adults online from Nov. 14 to 17. The poll’s results were weighted by age, race, gender, geography and educational attainment and have an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus two percentage points.

Preparing for the Unexpected: Your Essential Partner in Health Readiness
In an increasingly unpredictable world—where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and global travel can leave us vulnerable to sudden health challenges—being prepared isn’t just smart; it’s essential.

As someone who’s always advocated for proactive wellness, I was impressed by how Jase Medical combines expert medical guidance with convenient, customizable options to ensure you’re never caught off guard.
At the heart of their offerings is the Jase Case, a comprehensive emergency antibiotic kit priced at just $289.95. This powerhouse contains five life-saving antibiotics and five vital symptom-relief medications, capable of treating over 50 common infections—from respiratory issues and skin conditions to traveler’s diarrhea and more.
What sets it apart? It’s fully customizable with 28 add-on options, including a specialized KidCase for children ages 2-11, making it ideal for families.
Whether you’re stocking up for home emergencies or preparing for remote adventures, the Jase Case provides peace of mind with medications that boast extended shelf lives—up to five years or longer when stored properly, with studies showing 90% potency retention even after 20 years.
For those on the move, the Jase Go travel med kit at $129.95 is a game-changer. Curated by physicians, it addresses over 30 common travel ailments, from digestive upsets to minor injuries, ensuring explorers, hikers, and globetrotters can handle health hiccups without derailing their plans.
And for targeted concerns, Jase Medical offers specialized kits like the UTI Kit ($99.95), which includes test strips and treatments for urinary tract infections, vaginal candidiasis, and even jock itch, or the Parasites Kit (starting at $199.95), featuring compounded Ivermectin and Mebendazole to combat internal and external parasitic infections.
But Jase Medical isn’t just about one-off kits; their Jase Daily service provides an extended supply of your ongoing prescriptions, supporting hundreds of medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart health, high blood pressure, mental health, and more. This ensures long-term preparedness, safeguarding against factory shutdowns or extreme weather that could interrupt your regular supply.
The process couldn’t be simpler or more reassuring. Start by customizing your order online, then benefit from a thorough review by a team of world-class physicians who ensure safety and accuracy. In most cases, prescriptions are issued after a quick consultation—sometimes just a call to clarify allergies or needs—and your kit arrives discreetly at your door. While they don’t accept traditional health insurance, many customers use HSA cards, and refills are available for added convenience.
What truly stands out is the real-world impact. As radio host Glenn Beck puts it, “The supply lines for antibiotics already are stressed to the max. Please have some antibiotics on hand… You can do it through Jase.”
One satisfied customer shared, “It could have been a nightmare. Instead, the best trip we’ve had,” after their kit turned a potential health crisis into a minor blip during a family vacation.
