Emerson Poll: Democrats Take Double-Digit Lead in the Generic Midterm Ballot

10-point lead is Democrats’ largest advantage of the midterm cycle

New polling from Emerson College shows Democrats have a 10-point lead on the generic midterm ballot.

The numbers indicate that Trump’s collapsing economic approval, as well as Democratic gains with Hispanic voters, women, and independents, is erasing any hope for Republicans of holding the House majority. What was just a two-point gap a matter of months ago is now double-digits thanks to Republicans’ reckless policies like price hikes on everyday goods.

DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley:
“Democrats are on offense and Republicans are running scared. With a double-digit lead on the generic ballot and massive performances in special elections across the country, Democrats have the momentum to take back the House this November and deliver on lowering costs for hardworking families.”
