Republicans Hold Big Lead on Generic Midterm Ballot

A new CNBC poll finds Republicans with a 10-point edge over Democrats on the generic congressional ballot, 44% to 34%, up from a 2-point advantage in October.

In the past 20 years, CNBC and NBC surveys have never registered a double-digit Republican advantage on congressional preference, with the largest lead ever being 4 points for the GOP.

Said pollster Jay Campbell: “If the election were tomorrow, it would be an absolute unmitigated disaster for the Democrats.”
