Democrats Lead By Nine on Generic Ballot

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds Democrats hold a 9-point lead among likely voters over Republicans in congressional preference, 50% to 41%.

However, the same poll also shows President Trump at his highest job rating yet as president, 47% to 49%.

Wall Street Journal: “Voter interest in the midterm elections has surged to record highs within both parties… The findings point to an energized electorate, buffeted by dynamics that bring great uncertainty to the outcome of an election just two weeks away.”
