Democrats hold 10-point edge over Republicans ahead of midterm elections: Poll
The 1,000-voter survey also found Trump with 40% approval and 56% disapproval, as Democrats gained support among Hispanic voters, women and independents.
- Democrats hold a 10-point lead on the generic congressional ballot, 50 percent to 40 percent, according to an Emerson National Polling survey of 1,000 likely voters.
- Strength among Hispanic voters is driving Democratic support, according to Emerson College Polling executive Spencer Kimball, while President Donald Trump's approval rating sits at 40 percent with 56 percent disapproval.
- The Cook Political Report recently reclassified North Carolina and Georgia to Lean Democrat, while on Polymarket, Democrats are favored to win the House 85 percent to 16 percent.
- Democrats are seen as having a better chance of taking control of the House, as Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, meaning Democrats must net four additional seats to take control.
- The poll arrives nearly six months before the midterms, though analysts caution against overconfidence after 2024, when Democratic hopes collided with Republican victories across the White House, Senate, and House.
