GOP Holds Big Advantage in Midterms

A new Fox News poll finds likely voters prefer a Republican for Congress over a Democrats by a 47% to 40% margin.

“Recent Fox News polls of registered voters have shown a narrow Democratic advantage, although the lead bounced back and forth between the two parties for most of the spring and summer. Almost all Republicans and Democrats plan to vote for their party’s candidate. Independents are twice as likely to say they would back the Republican over the Democrat, yet the largest number say they would vote for a third-party candidate or are still undecided.”

In states with active U.S. Senate races, likely voters would back the Republican candidate in that race by a 48% to 39% margin. And when looking at the results in just the 14 Fox News battleground states, that GOP edge widens to 53% to 35% among likely voters.
