Democrats ride 11-point polling edge into six-week sprint

A Fox News poll shows Democrats leading the generic ballot among likely voters by 11 points (53-42), their widest lead of the year and a signal for a potential blue-wave midterm night as six weeks remain. The advantage translates into gains in the House and several battleground Senate races, with Hispanic voters shifting toward Democrats and issues such as gas prices and Iran policy shaping turnout. The piece also flags concerns about whether left-wing DSA candidates could drag down Dems and whether MAGA momentum could cap the Democrats’ ceiling in key states like Kansas, Alaska, Texas and Georgia.
