GOP Cuts Into Democratic Lead for Congress

A new Quinnipiac poll finds Democrats leading Republicans in the generic congressional ballot by seven points, 49% to 42% — a drop from the 12 point lead they had last month.

Also interesting: American voters say by a 50% to 43% margin that they want Democrats to control the U.S. Senate.

Said pollster Tim Malloy: “The numbers suggest the big blue wave may have lost some of its momentum as House races tighten. President Trump’s approval remains deeply in the red. But five weeks out, voters prefer Democrats to take control of the Senate, putting the more elusive prize for Democrats within reach.”
