Democrats hold double-digit lead for 2018 midterm elections

Democrats hold double-digit lead for 2018 midterm elections
A new NBC News/WSJ poll also shows President Trump's approval ratings edging up
by Mark Murray / Mar.18.2018 / 8:00 AM ET

WASHINGTON — Democrats enjoy a 10-point advantage over Republicans in congressional preference for the 2018 midterm elections, even as President Donald Trump's job approval rating has ticked up, the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds.

Fifty percent of registered voters say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while 40 percent want a GOP-controlled one.

That double-digit lead — typically a sign of strong Democratic performance for the upcoming election — is up from the party's 6-point edge in January's NBC/WSJ poll, which was 49 percent to 43 percent, though the change is within the poll's margin of error.
