Poll: Dems lead by 15 points on generic House ballot

Democrats hold a 15-point lead over Republicans on a generic House ballot, according to a poll released Thursday by Suffolk University and USA Today.

This survey is at least the third in recent days to have found Democrats with a double-digit lead as voters look to the 2018 midterms.

Forty-seven percent of respondents said that they would be more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate, compared to just 32 percent who said they were more likely to vote for a Republican. Another 6 percent said they would choose neither.

The poll found a similar breakdown in respondents’ disapproval of the parties. The GOP had an unfavorable rating of 60 percent among respondents, compared to a 48 percent unfavorable rating for Democrats.

Remember the last time we listened to the polls we got Trump because Democrats thought we had this won so many of them stayed home for whatever reason. We can't let these polls lull us into a false sense of security, we need to work HARD, beat the pavement, knock on doors, call talk to our neighbors and friends. Get the vote out, give rides to the polls, put signs in our yards so it is clear who we support.
