Democrats Maintain Solid Lead In Generic Ballot

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Democrats have a solid 49% to 41% lead on the generic congressional ballot, although that’s down a shade from December when it was 51% to 40%.

Beyond their overall lead, they’re also benefiting from an enthusiasm advantage: 65% of Hillary Clinton voters say they’re “very excited” to vote in the election this fall, compared to 58% of Donald Trump voters.

For comparison, the FiveThirtyEight polling average has Democrats leading 46.8% to 40.1%.
