As Democrats attempt to cling to power in the November midterms with polls showing a tight two-point GOP advantage on a generic ballot, a new generic ballot poll shows Democrats slipping, according to Breitbart News:
Republicans lead Democrats by six points on the generic congressional ballot, according to the latest Trafalgar Group poll released Wednesday.
The poll found that of the 1,084 likely general election voters surveyed, 47.2 percent said they would vote for the generic Republican candidate. In contrast, only 41.4 percent of the respondents said they would vote for the generic Democrat.
There were 11.4 percent who said they were unsure who to vote for in the election. The Trafalgar Group poll sampled likely general election voters from August 28 to 30, with a 2.9 percent margin of error and a 95 percent confidence level.
The poll also sampled more Democrats than Republicans and independents. There was 39.3 percent party participation in the survey from the 1,084 likely general election voters, only 35.6 percent from the Republicans, and 25.1 percent identified as “non-partisan” or “other.”
