Mixed45% confidence3 sourcesOct 27, 2026The partisan breakdown of the early vote at this point in 2024 was 47% Democratic and 44% Republican.Said by BThe post's 2024 comparison (47-44, a three-point Democratic lead) is faithfully extracted, but no source gives this national 2024 breakdown. The closest 2024 figures disagree: CNN's October 2024 analysis of 27 states shows Democrats at 39% and Republicans at 35% of the early vote (a four-point lead at different levels), while an unrated IBTimes piece cites a six-point Democratic turnout lead at the same point in 2024.Mixed55% confidence4 sourcesOct 27, 2026Hispanic voter participation in early voting is 41% higher than at this point in 2022.Said by BThe direction is supported: Hispanic early voting is well above 2022 levels. But the 41% figure does not match the national count in the sources, where TargetSmart shows 3.8 million Hispanic voters versus 2.35 million in 2022, an increase of roughly 62%. Texas (about 87%) and Mecklenburg County (about tripling) show larger increases still, and no source reports a share-based 41% figure, so the claim's magnitude depends on the measure used.Mixed55% confidence7 sourcesOct 27, 2026Democrats are polling a point or two ahead in Senate races in Texas, Ohio, and Alaska.Said by APolling averages from late October show Democrats ahead in all three races, but by different margins: Alaska is about 2 points, while Texas (about 3.9) and Ohio (about 2.8 to 4.7) run somewhat above 'a point or two'. The claim's direction is right, and its figures fall within the range of individual polls, but they understate the averages for Texas and Ohio.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesAug 28, 2026Donald Trump's current popularity rating is in the low thirties.Said by CAs of 2026-08-28, the low-thirties figure matches individual polls: Reuters/Ipsos had Trump at 33% (published Aug 17), and the UMass poll later put him at 32%. Polling averages from the same period, including Ballotpedia at 41% and the RealClearPolitics, NYT and Silver Bulletin averages around 38-40%, put his rating higher, so the claim holds only on the single-poll measure. The later drop to about 37% in the averages does not change the verdict as of the claim date.Mixed55% confidence4 sourcesAug 28, 2026The Republican Congress has passed about 800 pieces of legislation.Said by BThe claim's figure of about 800 is a House-only count under one measure: Congress.gov data cited by Snopes and Courthouse News puts House-passed or agreed-upon measures at roughly 922 to 1,000, which is close but not exact. Under the bicameral measure, which requires passage by both chambers, only 139 measures had passed as of mid-September, and just over 110 had become law, so the figure fails badly on that standard.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Mixed60% confidence6 sourcesAug 28, 2026Donald Trump has lost the support of non-white working class, Latino, and young voters who supported him in 2024.Said by BThe broad trend is well supported: Trump's support fell sharply among Latino, young, and working-class voters who backed him in 2024, as of late August 2026. The post's absolute claim that these voters are 'all gone' is contradicted by an Equis memo showing 76% of Latino Trump voters still backing a GOP candidate in October 2026. The extraction drops the word 'all' but keeps the same sweeping sense, so the verdict is mixed rather than true.
