Poll: Voters prefer GOP-led Congress
A new poll finds that voters would narrowly prefer Republican control of Congress with just under three weeks until the midterm elections.
Among likely voters, 46 percent prefer a GOP-held Congress while 44 percent prefer a Democratic-controlled one, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday.
Those figures are much tighter than the last midterm, where Republicans held a broader advantage. In mid-October 2010, voters preferred a Republican-controlled Congress in the same poll by seven points, 50 to 43 percent. Both sides were tied at 45 percent in the 2012 presidential election year.
Republicans need to net six seats next month to win control of the Senate, and are likely to maintain control of the House.
