A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that 50% of registered voters say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while 40% want a GOP-controlled one.
“That double-digit lead — typically a sign of strong Democratic performance for the upcoming election — is up from the party’s 6-point edge in January’s NBC/WSJ poll, which was 49% to 43%, though the change is within the poll’s margin of error.”
