Republicans and Democrats around the nation are statistically tied when it comes to which party voters prefer to control the House of Representatives — but Republicans have a 6-point lead in key battleground states, according to a Penn Program on Opinion Research and Election Studies/SurveyMonkey poll of over 100,000 likely voters.

Nationally, 49% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate if the election for House were being held today and 51% said they would vote for the Republican candidate.

But more concerning for Democrats — with just 18 days to go before the election — is that the Republican advantage grows to 6 points, 53% to 47%, among all likely voters who live in the battleground states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

A deeper analysis of state-level results reveal concerns for Democrats in several critical states where the party is trying to gain or hold Senate seats.

Democrats trail Republicans in the generic congressional ballot by 12 points in Ohio; 10 points in Florida; 6 points in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina; 4 points in Wisconsin; 4 points in Nevada; and the parties are statistically tied in Pennsylvania, according to the survey.

For voters who identify as Democrat or Republican, their ballots break down as expected — 97% of Democrats say they’ll vote for the Democratic candidate and 97% of Republicans say they’ll vote for the Republican.

Independents tell a different story. Fifty-two percent say they’ll vote for the Republican candidate and 48% say they’ll vote for the Democratic candidate, suggesting that voters who identify as independents are leaning more toward Republicans this election cycle.

Polls are about opinion, elections are about turnout.

Just outside the Commie ‘RAT cheat zone of 5% vote fraud. May or may not be enough. Stretch Pelosi already has revealed that the fix is in, likely again from the illegitimate, unmanned drop boxes and paid off ballot counters.

I just hope that the Red wave is a tidal wave and that Dems aren’t good surfers.

I just heard a free campaign commercial for the Democrat running for senate in Nevada by ABC News on radio. They started out saying polls were real close and then proceeded to a statement by the democrat against Laxalts abortion position.

The midpoint of the 34-day time window over which this poll was conducted is October 1. We have had 3 weeks of further measurable movement to the right since then. Waiting for the big national October surprise.
