***NEW*** Democrats Hold A Tremendous Twelve Point Generic Ballot Advantage In Red Coded Big Data Poll

Generic Ballot for the U.S. House
Democrats lead Republicans on the Generic Ballot among likely voters 47.7% to 37.1%, with 5.9% choosing “someone else” and the remaining 9.3% undecided. When undecided likely voters are leaned, Democrats maintain their margin 50.4% to 39.4%.

Worth noting, this is the largest lead for either party on the Generic Ballot ever measured by BIG DATA POLL. It’s being driven by voter enthusiasm, more interest in voting on behalf of Democrats, crossover voting and independent preference both favoring Democrats, and deep frustration with Republicans over their failure to enact domestic policies that alleviate their economic and financial concerns at home.

“After nearly a year of clear warning signs in data collection and as many months of political grace, voters have clearly run out of patience with the administration and his party,” BIG DATA POLL Director Rich Baris, said in a statement. “The one silver lining is that these percentage levels on trust to handle the most important voting issues indicate voters’ current preferences aren’t an affirmation of the Democratic Party.”

MAGA IS FACING AN EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT. IF THIS HOLDS IT WILL BE THE LARGEST GENERIC BALLOT ADVANTAGE SINCE THE 1974 MID TERMS.

The average for all pollsters at that point was a net approval/disapproval between -15% and -18%. So just 4 months ago they were an outlier in Trump's favor by at least 13%! It's gotten so bad that even MAGA slanted polls can't fudge the numbers to look even halfway respectable. This current poll has Trump at -17%. Hell, even Rasmussen's most recent poll had Trump at -9%.

Even RCP which includes every Republican biased poll they can find in their averages has Trump's average net approval now at -16%. And it's not going to improve anytime soon.

He's in the Tucker Carlson, Robert Barnes, and Megyn Kelly camp. I'm not a fan of his polling, I think he puts his finger on the scale, but in the current instance I'm a fan of his findings.
