Democrats Hold Big Lead In Generic Ballot

A new CNN/SSRS poll finds Democrats continue to hold a double-digit lead over Republicans in a generic congressional ballot among likely voters, 55% to 42%.

“That’s a slimmer edge than the party held in CNN’s final poll before the 2006 midterm elections and similar to the Republicans’ 10-point advantage just before the 2010 midterms.”

For comparison, the FiveThirtyEight polling average shows Democrats ahead 50% to 42%.
