They are falling.
Republicans are rising. And the spread favors Republicans.
On December 1, 46.5 percent of those polled wanted to see Democrats control the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, compared to 41 percent who said the same of the GOP.
Today, Democrat support sits at 45.3 percent compared to 42.6 percent for Republicans.
For context, in the 2018 midterms, and with Donald Trump sitting in the White House, Democrats led by an average of 7.3 percent in congressional generic poll. It should be noted that even with that lead, Democrats failed to retake the U.S. Senate.
It’s also worth noting that Republicans are performing better in specific polls, and this apples-to-apples comparison is the most accurate way I know of to measure momentum.
Emerson’s latest poll shows Democrats up by two. In November, Emerson had Democrats up by four.
Morning Consult shows Democrats up by only one point. Two previous Morning Consult polls had Democrats up four.
Quantus Insights has Democrats up by two, compared to four earlier this month.
A six-point Democrat lead in the Economist/YouGov polls has been cut to just four points.
Quinnipiac had Democrats up by nine in October. Today, that lead sits at just four.
Only the outlier Reuters has good news for Democrats, a jump from a single-point lead to a four-point lead.
This is real, slow-but-steady movement for the GOP, and it’s not difficult to figure out what’s causing it. For the past few weeks, the Trump administration has been rightfullyboasting about economic progress. Additionally, those barometers for everyday Americans, like gas and egg prices, have noticeably improved.
