Democrats enjoy a 10-point lead over Republicans on the generic House ballot, according to a new Washington Post-Schar School poll released Friday.
Of the registered voters surveyed, 47 percent said they preferred to vote for a Democrat in the November midterms, while 37 percent said they would cast a vote for a Republican.
The Washington Post notes that the margin does not grow statistically in battleground districts, with the lead for the Democrats at 12 percentage points in those districts.
The survey also indicates that Democrats are more energized to vote in the upcoming midterms than Republicans. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters in battleground districts, 59 percent of voters said they think the midterms are extremely important.
