Dems lead over GOP in new poll days before midterms

Two days before the midterm elections, Democrats have a 7-point lead over Republicans as voters from both political parties are conveying high-level enthusiasm, a poll released Sunday shows.

Fifty percent of likely voters said they would prefer Democrats take control of Congress, while 43 percent opt for Republicans, a NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey says.

Democrats had a 9-point advantage in October’s poll.

As for voter enthusiasm, 85 percent of likely Democratic voters register a “nine” or a “10” on a 10-point scale, compared to 82 percent of likely GOP voters.

Democrats are being powered by African-Americans – 84 to 8 percent – Latinos – 57 to 29 percent – by voters between the ages of 18 and 34 – 57 to 34 percent – and women – 55 to 37 percent.

The GOP leads among voters between 50 and 64 – 52 to 43 percent – by men – 50 to 43 percent – and whites – 50 to 44 percent.

White women with college degrees align by a 61 to 33 percent margin with Democrats.

Trump’s job approval rating is basically unchanged from last month’s poll among likely voters.

It’s now 46 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove – compared to October’s 45 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove.

Democrats would need to pick up 23 seats to get a majority in the House and would have to gain two seats in the Senate.

The poll was conducted between Nov. 1-3 and surveyed 774 likely voters and has a plus or minus 3.5 percentage point margin of error.
