Democrats hold 6 point advantage in battleground districts
(The Hill) — Voters in key battleground districts say they would back the average Democrat over the generic Republican as their representative in Congress, according to a new poll from Cook Political Report (CPR).Democrats hold a six-point advantage on the generic congressional ballot, leading Republicans, 50 percent to 44 percent, in a survey of the 36 districts most likely to determine the outcome of the November midterms.
The survey, conducted in the second week of April, includes districts that CPR rated as “toss up,” “lean Republican” or “lean Democrat” — which President Donald Trump won in 2024 by an average of two percentage points
Exit polls from the 2018 midterms show independent voters backed Democratic candidates by a 12-point margin. In the latest CPR poll, independents favor a generic Democratic candidate by 25 points.
