Poll signals Democrats slipping from 2018 edge as GOP gains loom for midterms
TL;DR Summary
A Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows Democrats leading Republicans 48%–45% among registered voters to control the House, down from 49%–44% in May and far from the roughly 10-point advantage they had in 2018; the survey also finds a 10-point edge for Democrats among likely voters, but intra-party divisions and turnout concerns suggest a smaller midterm victory than expected, based on a 2,092-person sample (±2.2 points) collected July 8–13.
