Democrats are maintaining a 9-point lead over Republicans in generic ballot polling for the House ahead of the 2018 midterms, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Quinnipiac University poll found that 49 percent of voters would like to see the Democratic Party win control of the House while 40 percent would like to see the Republican Party keep control. Another 11 percent remain undecided.

The Democrats' advantage in the poll is down 4 points from late January, when they held a double-digit lead over Republicans. But Wednesday’s poll was more consistent with RealClearPolitics’ average for 2018 generic ballot polling, which has Democrats with a nearly 7-point lead over the GOP.

Democrats need to flip 24 seats in order to take back the House. It’s a tall order, but many political observers are predicting a wave given the party’s advantage on generic ballot polling and recent special election victories in reliably red seats.

I am hoping our added enthusiasm this cycle will make that 9 points an understatement.
As we know, if Dems will show up they will win.
