A new CNN poll finds the Democratic party’s edge over Republicans in the generic congressional ballot is nearly gone, 47% to 44%.
“Voters also are divided almost evenly over whether the country would be better off with the Democrats in control of Congress (31%) or with the GOP in charge (30%). A sizable 34% — including nearly half of independent voters (48%) — say it doesn’t matter which party controls Congress.”
However, the FiveThirtyEight polling average still shows Democrats ahead by eight points, 48% to 40%.
